About this image

This comet is moving very quickly across the sky as it nears closest approach to the Earth.
Each line of dots is the same star recorded in a different position because the fixed point of the image is the moving comet. The 20 stacked exposures are only 60 seconds apart demonstrating the speed of the comets motion,
