I am curious if you will share the specifics of this image (I like it)? Was it super high ISO and reversed the clarity slider? It looks very film like to me and has a nice aesthetic.

I think you're headed in a good direction. I was going to say, "right direction," but there really isn't a right or wrong here--just how some of us see the world differently than others. I once walked through an exhibit of photos with Sam Abel (great Nat'l Geographic photog) as he judged the work and every time he viewed a color photo he'd say, "How would this work as a black and white image?" Sometimes color can overwhelm and become the main component of a photo whereas a b&w image needs to work on many more levels to be successful.

Enjoy the M10M. It's an amazing piece of equipment.

I'll take this opportunity to recommend that everyone go and have a look at Sam Abell's "Life of a photograph" talk on YouTube, there are a couple of different recordings of it. It's the closest you'll ever be to having Yoda give you a photo class.

I did see the comet later, it was a bit hazy so it had to get pretty dark to see it. I hadn't posted the best picture because I didn't think it was very good, but I was still thrilled to get it!

Astro photography is something I haven’t tried but very much want to. I wonder how long of an exposure would have been required to get its movement. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

About 60 seconds would give you a nice trail and not too much star streaking.

If you are talking about the comet's movement, it is not noticeable except over a day. The comet's tail is not from its movement, but from the solar wind, the various particles emitted by the sun (which give us the aurora borealis, for example) striking the comet's body. The tail is directly away from the sun, and as the comet orbits the sun the tail turns to stay directly away from the sun.

Generally speaking in taking pictures of the night sky, the shorter the exposure the better, to avoid star trails, the stars become lines across the sky due to the rotation of the earth. Sometimes the star trails are intentional, and it can be fascinating to aim the camera to the north and see where the north star is at (near) the center of the star trails arcs.

If you are close to civilization there are filters to remove most of light pollution, that can help too.

Well, this little guy passed away an hour ago. This is the last photo that we have of him.  Don’t forget to take the important shots.

I am so sorry to hear that.  His eye contact in the photo is amazing.
