Title

I was able to get 35 minutes on this set before the comet set into the western extinction band. The comet is quite a bit into the zodiacal light now, and the contrast was reduced a bit. This new image was taken a 6000 feet elevation with a very low distant mountains horizon. Thanks for looking! Data: RASA8, ASI071mc cmos, 35 x 1 integrations, Payson A
