This is the stunning moment a Perthshire stargazer captured a comet right above the Fair City.
Nadine Sabbagh waited patiently on Monday night into Tuesday morning to catch Comet NEOWISE as it passed by the Earth.
She had almost given up hope when, between 12.30am and 1am on July 14, she got the shot she had been waiting for.
Nadine, who is originally from Perth but now lives in Blairgowrie, captured these images from Rhynd Road, overlooking the city.

She told the Perthshire Advertiser: “I had almost given up hope of seeing the comet, as there was a thick wall of cloud obscuring it.
“I actually sat for two hours waiting for a break in the clouds before I saw anything.
“Just as we were about to leave, I caught a glimpse of something out the corner of my eye - a white streak - and took a quick photo to check what I was seeing.

“Lucky, it turned out to be the comet and I got a good 10 minutes or so of time before the clouds rolled over again.”
Nadine posted the pictures on her Twitter site @Deeniebean89 and immediately drew praise for her work.
One person said: “Great combination of comet and city! Well done!” Another wrote: “Such a magnificent moment.”

Comet NEOWISE was only discovered in March and suddenly became visible in the night sky this week.
It is currently on a journey that will take it past Earth before it heads back out to the edges of the solar system.
This week it has been visible to the naked eye, appearing low in the north east in the morning and low in the north west in the evening.
It is named after the telescope that discovered it.
