Description

Taken same night we were waiting for Comet Leonard to rise. Although I took flats right after imaging, apparently a dust mote moved; in the lower right, near the right edge beyond the witch's chin, there is a bean-shaped "cloud" that is apparently an artifact. There is a corresponding dark shape elsewhere that I cropped out of frame.
