This field is in a very rich portion of the Milky Way, and rides high about 9pm in July. The comet which is quite faint at around mag 11 sports a short stubby tail. This fast moving comet typifies how challenging it can be at times to image comets - faint, uncondensed and moving like crazy! Deep sky imagers wont touch comets usually, unless they are really bright. This field is around 3 degrees across and the planetary nebula is the oval large object to the lower right. The comet is to the upper left.
