Image Details:

This image has been stuck in my head for more than five years, ever since I learned about the ghost town of Comet, Montana. After making the 10-second comet image, I set the shutter speed to 30 seconds and slowly walked past while shining my headlamp on the building. After some sleep I combined the foreground and background exposures into one image. This ghost town is included in my timelapse video of Comet NEOWISE at: https://youtu.be/XU1g_l1G0dw
