About this image

Without any pre-planning, I thought I would have a go at trying to capture C/2017 T2 (PanSTARRS) using one of the remote telescopes in New Mexico. Telescope T11 became free and so I jumped on it. Had I checked Cartes du Ciel beforehand I would have made sure that the whole of M36 was in the image!
