About this image

This is probably the last image i will be able to take of this comet. It really was already descending into the murk by the time I could get a reasonably dark sky.

Compared with other images I've taken I would note that the tail is losing structure and seems to be fading - but this might be due to the background sky effects and low altitude.

Its been a treat to study this comet. Roll on the next one.
