Description

This image is all about distances: The clostest object, the comet 117P/Helin-Roman-Alu 1 was some 4.3 AU from earth, the more dominant galaxies of Hickson 44 group are some 60 millions lightyears away and the tiny galaxis in the background are much further away.

It took some heavy processing to show the faint comet.

Luminance was done with my ASI1600mm pro, colour comes from my old workhorse, a Canon 600d
