Front-row seat to nature’s spectacle

This shot captures comet C/2024 G3 Atlas on the only night I had decent conditions—no clouds, no moon… just cyclonic winds.

Originally, I set up close to the ocean in Guilderton, but with the sea spray threatening my gear, I relocated to this spot—still with a clear horizon but a much safer setup.

The sky is a stack of 29 x 30s exposures, while the foreground is a single shot. A challenge to capture, but absolutely worth it!
