This single shot of comet Catalina (C/2013 US10) was taken with a modified Canon EOS6D camera on a Cassegrain Relay 400mm f/6.5 telescope in the Tacande Observatory on La Palma. The exposure time was ~5 minutes. It is amazing to see the low noise level of the picture since no averaging took place. The image is also available in full resolution.
