Comet 17P/Holmes in Perseus
After over a week of poor weather (wind, smoke and clouds), I finally
managed to get two of nights of photography in on this unusual
comet which suddenly brightened out of obscurity in late
October, despite the fact that it is receding
from the sun. Very faintly visible to the right of the comet is a
hint of a tail.
