About this image

Determined to get a view of the comet, i mounted the camera piggy-back on the main scope. Not particularly obvious in the UK twilight. Best at about 11.15pm when at Alt/Az 15/309. Not seen in 10x50 bins - could be my eyes are fading ! The main scope (C11) was also imaging at the the same time.
