What a bonus the peak of the Geminid meteor shower and comet Wirtanen on the same night. Dubbed the Christmas comet by some, What better place to photograph the comet than a Christmas tree farm in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Photographed early Friday morning as the comet was setting. This is a single 15 sec exposure, no photoshop composite trickery involved. Canon 6D, Sigma 35mm f1.4 ART lens at f1.8.
