This little fellow is in our northern skies at the moment, with some amazing images being taken with its 2 tails spurting from opposite directions.

I had clear skies this am so headed down to the beach for a few pics .... just a camera on a tripod. Moon was about so a bit light, and when Comet had risen higher, dawn was approaching.

Still, I got him.

It is presently in the northern constellation of Draco, at about mag 7, and still heading north. At my latitiude it is near Vega, so who can see Vega in the mornings??

PS ... I am a terrible processer.

I couldnt see it in binoc but probably left it too late, as getting light.

I really must try and attach my camera to the scope to try for some better images.
