Image Details:

this was my first time ever trying to photograph a comet. i set up with exciting anticipation and monitored progress on the star walk app. i did not see anything but kept waiting and watching the app. finally it was up according to the app but I could not see it. so i just started systemically taking pictures and finally found it that way. it looked like a small star in the viewfinder. anyways, i got it centered and got some pictures, hoped they wouldnt be too bad. I was so happy with the results. cant wait to try it again
