Description

I came across this quite by accident, but it was such a cool extra bonus seeing comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs doing a drive-by to the horsehead and flame nebulas. Was extremely pleased that the comet came through as visible as it did,  despite how it is fairly faint, and didn't show on the individual exposures until the final stack was created.
