Meteors! From night before last. I count five, plus an airplane. Some are curved, due to the fisheye lens I used.

Olympus OM-1 with M.Zuiko 8mm ƒ/1.8 full-frame fisheye, using Live Composite, about 120 each ten-second exposures.

Super cool! Just one thing though, the moon is more like a quarter of a million miles from Earth, not half, so the comet would be more like 4 times the distance from Earth to the moon in 3044 if it got that close.
