About this image

I set the camera to sit parallel with the Western horizon in strong moonlight.   Sun was at -18, and the comet +15.  I was guessing where the tail may be pointing, hopefully towards M33.   I believe i have captured this. Dark and flat frame applied to RAW images.  No cloud this time.
