Image of a comet 252P/LINEAR captured on 5 Apr remastered.
150 frames (3.2s each) were processed in DSS using bigger region (resulted image size is 14.8x8.34 degrees). Gradient background was removed using FITStacker, final processing was made using FSViewer, NeatImage, and RawTherapee.
Except the comet, several deep sky objects are visible in the image: globular clusters M14 (to the upper left-left of the comet), M10 (in the upper-right corner of the picture), and NGC 6366 (dim spot to the right of the comet). According to nova.astrometry.net, a size of the picture is 14.8 x 8.34 deg.
