coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680

Good image Gary!
Out of curiosity, I noticed a slight trailing in some of the stars. Would that be due to tracking or field rotation?

Michael, maybe one of the photo's was autoguided well. The nextstar was on a wedge, maybe my polar star was out?
