About this image

The Moon is now a bit too close to the comet and washing-out the tail. However, processing with Larson-Sekanina filter, 30 degree rotation, shows good activity in the coma.

4 minute integrations with mount tracking at 'comet rate'. Calibration and stacking with Astro Pixel Processor; AstroArt 7 used to apply LK filter.
