About this image

Due to my TPoint set up losing the plot, I was later doing this observation than I intended. So, it was quite low down with the the tube barely above the bottom of the dome shutter.

More images would have been nice, but I was glad to get anything that low.

Grant - Nice image and this comet is definitely worth the effort even though it is a pain to get to the field. Your image is from the evening of March 23, not March 24. Compare the stars in these:

Eek! Yes, you are right. Not sure where I left my brain while typing the file name.
