Painters Comet

The Comet is moving fast and farther from Earth so it now fits in a 24mm frame with the Milky way. But for making a landscape shot with the Milky way and comet, I still needed to shoot a panorama. This image is an 18 panel panorama. It was tricky to shoot longer exposures as there was continuous ongoing traffic on the highway and the landscape was overexposed. Had to make few tries to get the undisturbed exposures.
