Details:
After shooting galaxies last week, I tempted the clouds and went after another comet that's been on my list, C/2021 S3 (PANSTARRS). It's drifting through the Cygnus Milky Way right now on its way out. The whole area is webbed with red emission nebulae, whipping up some great combos. The brighter knot below center is the Propeller Nebula LBN 278. And open cluster NGC 6866 sits toward upper right. The comet's tail is showing about a degree long, so still pretty fun photographically.
