Description

Comet C/2017 T2 was in perseus, near the Perseus double cluster (lower left corner). The night was very cloudy so only a few images of 60 seconds where captured over about 2 hours.

The individual pictures showed a bit of motion of the comet itself, so a gif of the comet moving will be coming soon when I figure out how to produce that

the comet itself is to the lower right of the string of stars known as Kemble's cascade in the image.
