About this image

Planned carefully to catch the comet as soon as it cleared Aklim mountain range, the highest in the lower Atlas (2530m).

The comet was 4° above horizon when it just cleared the mountain, with the challenging bright dawn.

That's a nice set of images which show the dust tail very well. In theory the comet is briefly visible pre-conjunction from 50N over the next few days although it will be very low in the morning twilight sky. It is looking very good for October post-conjunction when the dust tail should be even longer, particularly on October 14 when we pass through the comet's orbital plane.
