About this image

After an hour observing Adorea to get a light curve I felt like something more immediately rewarding and so chose Nick's comet of the month. The moon wasn't up and it was a slightly above average night if a bit chilly reaching -3.5C later on.

Anyway the comet is a pretty little thing and was, nearly at standstill. Sometime I must learn how to do - and automate - comet photometry.
