Description

10.5 Magnitude Comet 103P/ Hartley Highlighted in Front of a Crowded Sky , 2023-09-07.
210 frames @ 45 seconds each were stacked in a field of rich IFN.  I kept the exposures low since the 3rd quarter moon was up for the entirety of the shoot.  This comet is closest to earth on September 26 and perihelion on October 12, 2023.  Not expected to brighten significantly but anyone can hope.
