Very early this morning, just after my night's schedule had completed, there was still some dark sky. So I had a look around in #Stellarium, and found a comet in the far Western sky - 10P/Tempel . So I did a quick stack of it with my #Dwarf3 , and this was the result. One #musktrail , but I thought I'd leave it in in this case.
10/P Tempel is one of the Jupiter family of comets, and has a period of only 5.4 years, so we get to see it quite often. Because it does not get particularly close to the sun, we don't get to see much of tail, but we do get the neat fuzzy green of the excited gases around the nucleus.
