    Same comet, new adventure! This one was a first for me ? a 12-image mosaic photo stitched together to bring my vision to life! After scouting spots along the Poudre River, I finally found one where the Milky Way and Comet Atlas lined up perfectly.It took a couple of nights (and a few fails) to get it right, plus almost 4 hours standing in the river under peaceful, dark skies. But honestly, learning new processing tricks and finally nailing this shot made it all worth it. Hands down, my favorit
