Comet 17P/Holmes Near the Alpha Persei Cluster

On Sunday I wanted to show where the comet was located in a wider starfield. Here we can see the Alpha Persei Cluster nearby. This widefield view was imaged with a digital SLR on a stationary tripod using a number of stacked frames.

Lens: Nikkor AF 85mm/1.8
Sensor ISO: 1600
Exposure: 23 light frames of 4 seconds at f/2.8
Processing: Stacking with Registar 1.0; fine tuning with Adobe Photoshop CS2
