Details:
Made a little midnight hike to align Comet Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2) with the Huckleberry Mountain fire lookout in Glacier National Park, Montana. The 66.7% illuminated Moon washed out the comet's tail(s), but the greenish snowball was still quite lovely - as were the occasional aurora in the opposite direction. Photographed at 01:47 am in a brisk -11F/-24C, but clear and calm. Nikon D750, 200mm f2.8 lens. A blend of equal exposures, short shutter high ISO sky and long shutter low ISO foreground.
