About this image

The sky cleared after 22:00 and thankfully there was only a light breeze this time. The bright Moon imposed a naked eye lim. mag. of about 3. The comet was travelling towards its pass near Capella and my 'scope was almost pointing at the zenith. A composite image by DeepSkyStacker.
