Possibly the most insane single exposure I've ever taken. Just as I asked my friend Jens to point at Comet 46P/Wirtanen, a meteor streaked underneath the open star cluster Pleiades (M45).
Jens - 150m
Meteor - 85 km
Comet 46P - 11 million km
Pleiades - 444 light years

I was 7 years old when my Grandad helped me spot Comet Hale-Bopp through his fancy binoculars. The sight of it must have triggered something in me becase for years to follow a comet became a staple feature in my dreams. Comet NEOWISE has been such a surreal experience 🌌

Waited a couple of years for perfect conditions for this. You need the lake to flood ever so slightly to cover the jetty with 1-2cm of water. It also has to be timed with clear skies on a moonless night with zero wind to get those reflections and then boom... You're Jesus Christ!
