COMET C/2016 PANSTARRS R2 Taken by Chris Schur on January 17, 2018 @ Payson, AZ



Clearly a very difficult target for even comet imagers with its rapidly changing tail which is very dim indeed. I was able to spend over an hour and a half on this shot, so I think you will find it a most splendid sight!
