For someone who calls himself a normal guy with a telescope, photographerAndrew McCarthycaptures some truly awe-inspiring images.
As McCarthy said, this Christmas Comet put on quite a show.
On his popular Instagram account, the photographer detailed how he captured the spectacular sight.
He used a modified SCT telescope and photographed 25 separate 30-second-long exposures.
Once he had all of those images, he created a composite portrait detailing Comet Leonard.
McCarthys choice to immortalize the celestial object was done at the right time.
We wont see it again, making McCarthys portrait of the Christmas Comet all the more significant.
