Gotcha!
Heres the comet at 3:30pm today.
Taken in IR 800nm and longer light
2x 1/90th sec,ISO 100 , IR pass filter, modded 350D, heavily contrast stretched. I know for a fact its the comet as its the only thing that had moved (the 2 shots taken without drive on about 2 secs apart) I manually aligned the 2 images with Photoshop.
10inch f5.6 newtonian.
It HAS brightened as I didnt expect to get it as sky was VERY bright due to haze from strong southerly and low cloud.
Its gonna be a ripper of a comet
