C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) 2022-May-04 Dan Bartlett

Nice night for a comet with a very slow apparent motion. I only used 10 x 300sec exposures for this busy field, with little to no pseudo nuclear trailing at this pixel scale. Full resolution on ASTROBIN https://www.astrobin.com/8wr3pm/(typo of comet designation will be fixed when ASTROBI is fixed)
