[BAA Comets] C/2012s1 20130904

Hello all,
I imaged this comet at dawn from my observatory at Tarbatness in Highland Scotland (MPC Code I81).

Comet looks around mag 12-13 with a small condensed coma and a tail about 8 arc mins. It looked 
quite an active comet as the images came onto my computer screen from the ccd camera. It looks to be 
developing quite nicely and was an easy object to image even at low altitude in the bright dawn sky.
