Comet 17P/Holmes, during its outburst.
Canon 350d, Celestron C9¼ with Antares 0.63x focal reducer, ISO 400, 13 sec
This photo was taken in a hurry. I didn’t polar align the mount, my telescope was dewing up, and I had difficulty focusing on such a diffuse object. But after days of cloud and rain I was determined to capture something!
