I took this shot of Comet Linear back in 2002. It is just one of the Comets discovered by Linear and I forget its number. But it was close to 11th magnitude at the time and the stars in the photo are around 8,9, and dimmer magnitude. My CCD camera does not have anti-blooming so the stars tend to get bloated. It took less than 3 minutes to capture. The Comet moved from left to right in relation to the stars in this short span of time and the tail was going directly away from us.
