One of the last images from last night, this one showing another aircraft passing near the comet head.
This exposure was 15 seconds, showing more pronounced star trails as well as two jet contrails.
The coma as well traileda bit and the comet tail spread out a bit more than a shorter exposure.
This was taken at 19:38 EDT looking about 15 degrees off the horizon a little south of West from a slight southern hill overlooking a valley.
