Image Details:

Was eager to capture the PanSTARRS C/2017 K2 comet as it was passing by Messier 10 in Ophiuchus constellation. Time was of the essence as the still near full moon was going to rise around 11:05 PM ADT. Approximately 175 frames which about 25 were discarded for various reason. Happy with the final result.
