About Astrophotography is not my photographic "game" tho I am amazed when looking at the night sky. When a once in a lifetime comet comes by, it's worth the effort to record it. Afer many failed attempts. I was zeroing in on the cause of my problematic tracking or guiding errors. The exposure was about 16 minutes long.
Here is one of the best shots that I made once I discovered my tracking errors.
Once that I got this shot back and it came out fairly well, I took a trip up a small mountain to escape the city lights and the low lying fog to catch my 3 best ever images using different lenses. (those will start tomorrow night)

I hope you enjoy this initial photo...... I wanted round stars, not these short streaks.
I will add my next images tomorrow. Thank you for keeping watch.

Thank you for stopping by. I am glad you enjoy these. More on the way tonight of this same comet using different lenses...... the new ones will have round stars, with no trailing.

Thank you very much for those comments Saad. Since this is not my usual type of photography, I was so very happy when the results of my efforts came back as well as they did.
The posted photo was correct because at night after the sun sets, the comet will always point to the sun below the horizon.
I received two images on my CD of the same slide with different orientations. The image was fed into the machine incorrectly as viewing the originally posted. You see, in the comment section I should have rotated that image 90 degrees to make it a portrait orientation instead of a landscape.
This is what I should have posted.

the direction of the posted one is the standard as we seen them in journals and TV,
as for the direction at the comment section is unusual and is the one I liked,
and the Big Bosses do not do better,they do it closer,
my regards,
Saad.

Thank you Turi. Not a shooting star, but a comet this time.
Comet Hale Bopp stayed in the evening sky here for a couple of months as I recall, providing me time to improvise a method to capture the image.
Look up Hale Bopp on google images. You will be amazed. It was the comet of the century in my book... a masterpiece from above.

The effort is worth it, I have tried but I do like you, go to the field in order to capture these images.
Here, I assume that there has also been the era of Esperides, when more shooting stars can be photographed all year.
But this year I've lost work, do not miss soil.
