Comet from Sydney

After setting up three nights in a row only to see clouds, I finally managed a photo of it on its westward journey. Even then it was touch and go as the clouds raced in and completely covered the sky again before it was dark. This is heavily cropped and suffers from severe light pollution gradient which I managed to combat at the expense of some detail- you can still see the anti-tail and it looks better in a grayscale version.

Samyang f/2 135 mm @ f/2.4 calibrated darks, flats 5 sec subs for 5 min.
