About this image

Here's my image of C/2018 Y1 passing by NGC 2903 taken from Chelmsford this morning. It wasn't a very transparent night but the tail must be getting brighter since it shows up more than in my previous images. This is 2.2 x 1.6 deg FoV. I get a total mag of 6.2 from the green pixels of this image.
