Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner

[Wiu-Wiu]

Imaging comets is always special; when they are too far, they don't move a lot, but they are dimmer. When they get closer, they move faster and you need to either track the comet (no can do, sorry), or take shorter subs. 

I was able to get 21P on camera last night, made a small animation to show its movement. 

13 frames of 2 minutes

Did well to capture this comet, though it seems to have brightened a bit since I last saw it by the North America Nebula a few weeks ago.
