Title

Here is C/2016 R2 on January 20th. Excellent conditions and my best result so far on it. The tail looks bizarre - like a spiral twist. Similar to what Michael's animation showed earlier this month. I may try and make an animation from this data. http://www.damianpeach.com/dee psky/c2016r2_2018_01_20dp.jpg ASA 16" F/3.5. BRGB. 36/5/5mins.
