Details:
The sky was clear this evening so I was able to capture the Christmas Comet (46P/Wirtanen) and Capella in the same FOV. I used a Canon 6D DSLR attached to a Astro-Physics 5" f/8 APO refractor. The total exposure consists of ten 30 seconds exposures at ISO1250. Even with the bright full Moon nearby, the comet was still visible in 7x50 binoculars. A beautiful pairing.
