Hi Grant, nice image of a faint comet. Would you consider copying any comet images you post here to the BAA Comet Section at cometobs@britastro.org

The bright ones are too easy!

Yeah, really should do that. Keep meaning to write some Python to properly annotate all the images from the FITS header, but never seem to get time. I think I have a list of what I have previously sent you - its only 10 or so (I've more Neowise pics than that) - so will try to get round to it soon and clear the backlog.
