Swan Song

Have had a lot of fun with this comet. I've learnt a lot about comet imaging.
Wish I had been able to get to a dark sky site but had to be content doing this from home.

Got up this morning for the last time and even though full moon was in the west I could still make out the tail with my 10 x 50 binoculars.

What about that "Musk Train" on the 6th! OMG!

Looking forward to the next bright comet.

Nice catch Richard

The head seems to be rounding off now - it looked more triangular a week ago.
