While imaging the Eskimo Nebula (NGC2392) on the morning of November 8, I
noticed a blurry object to the lower right. Turned out to be periodic comet
38P/Stephan-Oterma at that time in the constellation Gemini (and still is)
at magnitude 9.27. So, I collected 16 frames, ISO800. Seeing was excellent
at ~2 arc-seconds when starting at ~ 03:35am MST.
Coordinates (J2000) 07h 27m 33.4113s +20° 48' 34.070"
Sky-Watcher Esprit 120 (840mm) and Nikon D7500.
Meteor strike in next to last frame at 04h43m55s.
Also, below and to the left of the planetary nebula is magnitude 18.46
asteroid (45234) 1999 XA228.
