Comet Gerradd
I decided to take advantage of some clear skies tonight and give shooting comet Gerradd a go. The moon was almost full so this image is inverted to show more detail and less light polution.

Comet Leonard, a dazzling visitor from the outer reaches of our solar system, is currently gracing our night skies with its ethereal presence. Named after the astronomer who discovered it, Gregory J. Leonard, this cosmic wanderer is a testament to the wonders of the cosmos. Comet Leonard's brilliant nucleus, composed of dust and ice, reflects the Sun's light, creating a luminous tail that stretches across the celestial canvas. As it journeys through our solar system on its long elliptical path, it has captivated the hearts and cameras of astrophotographers around the world. In this stunning image, the photographer has masterfully captured the intricate details of Comet Leonard, showcasing its delicate, gossamer-like tail as it dances through the depths of space. This celestial spectacle serves as a reminder of the boundless beauty and mysteries that our universe continues to unveil.
