This image shows a beautiful great comet a bit moved away from the Earth with a straitened dust tail. You can detect alpha Persei in the upper part of the image; this field includes many fine stars and one of scenic spots in the autumnal Milky Way. I enjoyed the comet Hyakutake seeming a badminton shuttle through a portable binocular.
