About this image

The comet position was obtained from the Minor Planet Ephemeris service. It was near NGC2336. The galaxy was imaged, but the comet was not in frame. So i offset about half a frame and took a second image with the comet. The cloud is dispersing slowly. Sharpcap is used to drive this camera. A master dark was subtracted during aquisition, and a fresh flat frame taken in the morning, Frames were re-stacked in DSS, and post-processed in Astro Art. Image Composite Editor (Microsoft ICE) formed the mosiac.
