The Red Giant, a comet and clusters

Last evening's capture from my terrace. The comet was passing by the red giant Aldebaran in Taurus (at the middle of the image). We also have the Pirate Moon Cluster (NGC 1647) in the frame, towards the top-left. The comet is slowly becoming faint, currently at mag +6.7.
