Description

After three unsuccessful trips chasing down the comet, I finally got a 15-minute chance to capture it.  This was shot in Kunyang, Hehuan Mountain, Nantou, Taiwan the night before the mag. 7.2 earthquake at an elevation of 3,085 meters. Due to some miscalculation, the comet reached the top of the trees on the hill across me only after 15 minutes. I set up two rigs: one with Vixen FL55SS and another with FLT111.  There wasn't enough time for the latter rig and I only got one image. The time is too short to resolve the finer details of the comet, but at least I got to photograph it.
