About this image

A comedy of errors in the early morning. My battery ran out and I was weirdly limited to 1s exposures due to camera timeout when I directly connected it to my laptop. Found the comet anyway...

That's a very good effort. This comet is a challenge to get to and it will get harder over the next few weeks.
