Unlike the previous one, this is a Lunar Eclipse Comet. It occured in April 1996. While the earth shadow was eclipsing the moon (Total eclipse), one could see the comet Hyakutake. Unfortunately it was hardly possible to look at the moon and the comet at the same time (FOV too narrow).
But with Celestia, I found a location where one can see both !
Have a look at my gallery!
