Details:
Tonight, this morning Comet, 21P/Giacobini-Zinner is seen crossing Messier object 35, an open cluster in Gemini. A forest fire in the nearby Coconino National Forest introduced a great deal of haze in the sky making things a bit difficult. But this strange periodic visitor from the distant Oort Cloud, the parent of the Draconid Meteor shower made a stunning appearance right in front of Messier object 35!
