Captured between 01:13 and 02:12 UT on a frosty early morning of 4 November, this was my second and more successful attempt at a close-up of this comet that may potentially get bright enough to be a good view in a telescope in due course.
The top image is a stack of the background stars with a stack against the comet superimposed back on the stars, the two lower images are the same stack of 60x60seconds locked on the comet in negative and normal viewing.
