Top shot, given the proximity of the Moon great details on the comet.

One of the most striking astro images I have seen Kevin. I even like it more than your APOD image (not to take anything away from that one - it too is superb), but to me this image is sublime.

That's an impressive result, and especially given the huge studio light you used

I haven't been able to catch sight of this comet sadly, but among the photos I have seen, this stands out.
Well done - Trev

Thanks Trev. Hope you can sight it soon as it's stating to fade.

This image does have some processing that is similar to HDR in that the comet and Moon were not equally stretched. A bit like what we do to the core of the Orion Nebula so we don't burn out the bright areas. In that respect the image is not linear in tonal range. But then neither is the Orion nebula if we want to see the core as well as the outer loops.

Thanks Mike! It's not often we see a '"bright" comet near the Moon. The last time I caught something similar was with Hale-Bopp in 1997.
