Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS)

Finding the Comet is easy, as it is approaching Beta Scorpii, which is on the extreme left of the image.

This single shot was taken last night with my Tak 100 (F7.4) and Canon Camera.

Settings: 20secs, ISO 5000

I was going to try a shot of this using a 500mm Reflex lens last night but after seeing your shot with a Tak at 740mm I don't think mine would have shown much detail at all. This comet is taking it's time to brighten but you've captured some of it's tail in this capture, so well done to you!
