Hey peoples!
Keep an eye on this one! I would encourage anyone to image this comet as it comes in.
I estimated it on Monday night to be around mag 10.0 - 10.5, its sporting a small tail to the north-west! The bright star was Gamma Corvi.
Quite an easy target, in Corvus, i imaged it with my Canon 400D and 8" SCT. 5 min exp @ 1600 ISO @ f/10. A bit grainy but its only a single image.
Will post finder chart shortly!
Observations are strongly encouraged!!!!
Cheers!
