Description

A few weeks ago, I noticed that Leonard would pass through the Whale and hockey stick galaxies. I decided to try for an image. It was a lot of work, with my primitive setup of DSS and PS,  to get the stars and comet stacked without anything streaking.  I'll think twice before attempting a long exposure on a comet again. I think it was worth the effort though!
