Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

This is from my second night of trying to get a decent image of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. I was in awe as it appeared out of the twilight in the western sky. And I was more excited as I tweaked the photo, and realized that I could also see the comet's anti-tail stretching down toward the horizon. The Moon was lighting the pasture in the foreground.

Canon 5D Mark IV, Canon 70-200 mm lens at 70 mm.

Tweaked white balance and brightness/contrast in PaintShop Pro.
