thewayneHonest and truly! That green dot in the middle of the white circle? That's Comet 46P Wirtanen, and it's about 7 million miles from earth right now.
As usual, clicken to embiggen.
This was a 30 second exposure at f5.6 and an ISO of 1600 with my Canon 6D using a 28-135 zoom at 28mm. I was using my interval timer, this was just one frame that I grabbed. The star streak sequence wasn't that interesting as I wasn't pointed anywhere near the pole, so it was a streak mainly left to right with a slight bend.
