Yes it does but I can't find any mention of a comet in this area. Maybe I'm just not very good at manual focus and I've got one of the inner planets but then the clouds look ok....  |
I think you just have short contrail lit up by the early morning sun I have seen objects like that before.
I don't think it is a comet as it would have been spotted by the numerous
Comet hunters and satellites ect
