Details:
We were watching and photographing a beautiful moonset, when we noticed this fuzzy spot. We brought out our binoculars and found this lovely naked eye comet in Cetus. We hadnt seen anything about a comet, so we got a few pictures before it faded into sunrise. On this exposure, we got a meteor, too!

NOTE: Susan emailed me and asked me to re-label this, after realizing it was a fuel dump and not a comet.
