Comet C2001/Q4

 

On May 5, 2004 I was able to take a few images of comet C2001/Q4 as it sped away from Earth on it's way out of the Solar System.

The animation is made out of 6 2-minute exposures so the relative movement against the star background just took a total of 12 minutes.

Check out the meteorite at the end!
