About this image

On returning from Winchester Weekend, the following morning was clear-ish. Comet found low in the NE (10d/070). I swapped a 105mm for 50mm to find the comet. Its a bright blue-green dot, and afterwards located in 10x50bs. Not too bad given the equipment in use. Pleased i got it from the back garden.
