Comet Lulin
by Mike Hankey, under Comets & Meteors
Here’s an animated gif of comet lulin, a once per million year comet discovered in 2007. There are 9 frames that make up the animation, 30 seconds exposures for each frame.

You can tell how fast the comet is moving by looking at the stars in the background (this is a total elapsed time of less than 5 minutes). That thing is bookin.
