Comet C/2023 H2 (Lemmon) on 12 November.
The comet has just recently passed closest to Earth, so its apparent motion is near maximum.
This is a stack of almost 70 images, each exposure being 30 seconds.
The comet is crossing the milky way in Aquila (so many star trails!), and I'm impressed that the stacking software always determined an accurate centroid on the comet's nucleus. Even when the comet passed next to a star, the software tracked the comet's location quite well.
The faint tail extends up and to the left from the nucleus.
