LINEAR (C/2005 K2)
If you look to the lower left of the Head of the comet you can see a piece that broke off of the main comet.
This is a stack of 14 images at 30 seconds each, some of the missing frames where not good enough to use, I shot these images during a bright moon, the comet low in the western horizon and clouds rolling in and out.
