comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs last night from Namibia (SlyGems). Here it is seen "touching" the beautiful reflection nebula LBN1113 or IC 4592 in Scorpio, it is a vast nebulous system that receives the blue light of its nearest star, the ? Scorpii, reflecting it and thus becoming bright like a cloud from the deep blue color, at the bottom right you can see the bright star B1 of Scorpio. I used a NW 200/600 ccd QHY600 L = 5x240s field of view 130'x200 '
