About this image

The weather here has been really frustrating in the morning with lots of cloud coming in. This comet is beginning to get really good now but I only managed 3x60s in a slight thinning of the cloud. Other people have got far better images but the long, straight ion tail is easy even in a single 60s exposure. It is definitely worth getting up early for while the Moon is out of the way.
