About this image

I just managed to get this colour widefield shot through a short gap in the drifting cloud here tonight. Comet 21P is just visible as a green fuzzy trail but the composition would have been much nicer this had been a more spectacular comet.

Nice capture, Nick. It took me a few moments to spot it in the image despite your helpful pointers!
