Details:
The Beehive star cluster is in the lower left and Comet C/2023 P1 is near the top center of the photo and appears as a small green dot. I waited as long as possible before twilight would begin to interfere so that the comet was as high as possible above the horizon. This lens vignettes a lot wide open and I really should have taken some flats since I do not have a lens profile. The comet is not visible to the naked eye and since I took this photo moonlight is interfering.
