Post your comet photos

This one was taken 1/17/2015 over North Georgia

Nice shot...would have like to have seen the exif data. But nice, nonetheless.

Nice capture. Is that Paladies to the left of it?

You must mean “Pleiades”. It sure looks like it to me.

Thanks Bob, that looks more like the spelling I was after. Kept getting underlined in red so gave up.

@MartinCornwall if you right click does it not give the correct spelling, or did it just not know that one? lol

I don't know why that didn't show up. I used a D610, 50mm lens set at f/2.0, 10 second exposure at ISO 2,000. I cropped it maybe 30% to get a closer view.
