About this image

C/2017 T2 has now moved close enough to the Double Cluster in Perseus that I can fit it in the field of my wide-angle imaging system (ASI294MC + WO 90mm refr with x0.8 FF). This is a 21x60s stack from earlier this evening.

And even closer to NGC 957 to the comet's upper right. Lovely image.
