Comet Wilson and LMC

OK, I know we have had a few images of Comet Lovejoy and the LMC but here is a passage of another comet from another time.

This is an image from Suzy's thread (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=87084 ) I thought I would share here on the Solar System forum.

Taken on or within a day of 6th May 1987, Canberra, I captured Comet Wilson (1986l) alongside the LMC which had the supernova SN1987A still brightly shining. 45mm, f/2.8, 1000ASA, 30sec exposure, Petri Racer rangefinder camera on a fixed tripod.

Thanks for looking,

Tom
