Details:
A really nice composition opportunity this morning, with the 6th magnitude comet Catalina nearly on top of Arcturus. Fortunately, the tail pointed away from the all too brilliant star, and made for a stunning portrait. I used my DSLR instead of CCD because of the blooming the ST10 would have made a mess of the image. Nearly one hour exposure brought the details out in its very faint gas tail. Hope you like.
