About this image

Image taken this evening in bright moonlight although the sky is very transparent since we are in a flow of dry polar air (RH outside is 85%, temp is -1.3C). I had to wait for the comet to be far enough away from stars that I could get a decent length stack. Only two components, A and C visible. The comet has been stable in this configuration for some time.
