This shot was taken at St. John's, Newfoundland on November 1, 2007, in the crisp, cold quietude 2-3:30am, from our East End backyard, a few hours after the Hallowe'en kiddies packed it in and the clouds moved off.

Sum of eight 8 sec exposures. 17P_Holmes: sum of 8 8-second exposures (~2:30am NST). |
