C/2002 C2 Ikeya-Zhang and M31 galaxy
This image is a composite of five separate images taken in period of one hour. The best observing
conditions were just after the sunset. Therefore I started the first exposure still on twilight. It
caused the red color in the bottom part of this image. During the first exposure (18:54 - 19:01 UT)
a very bright meteor was recorded in the top left part of the image. The prominent object below the
comet's head is the well known M31 galaxy.
