Image Details:

Had this image in mind a while ago when i was tracing the future path of C/2017 T2. I had seen it in 12 and 10 inch scopes and knew it was small compared to other beauties i had seen before. I was just hoping for a good overlay of deep sky objects and the comet to have a nice view both at the eyepiece and the camera. Used my TSA102 @ 610mm & Canon 6D for this image. This combination proved nice for the relative wide swath of sky visible. You can also see NGC957 just above the comet. The image is a stack of 20x180s frames. Enjoy!
Time of the photo is 2000UT
