Garradd, galaxies and a globular....Comet Garradd ((C2009 P1), background galaxies and globular cluster M92. Lum 1x1 300seconds, RGB 2x2 each 120 seconds. TEC 140 @ f5.6 and FLI ML8300 camera at -30. Taken by Lynn Hilborn, February 3, 2012 at 4am, WhistleStop Observatory, Grafton, Ontario.<br />
When comets float by deep-sky objects, the combination can be beautiful. But it’s also deceiving. Here, Comet C/2009 P1 (Garradd) passes globular cluster M92, which lies in the constellation Hercules. At the time of this image, Comet Garradd shone at magnitude 7.1 and was approximately 154 million miles (248 million kilometers) from the Sun. M92, on the other hand, shines at magnitude 6.5 and lies some 26,000 light-years away — 990 million times more distant than the comet! <br />
