Another nice one. Very Impressive. I did not think anyone would catch this here. Is the mount tracking at this point and at what speed.?

Thanks Phil, Bob and Ray.

Yes ray, I used a HEQ5 Pro set to sidereal rate to track the comet.

Nice work Kevin on all those early captures. It sure faded fast - it was down to Mag 7.2 when I got a chance to image it last Monday - and that is some 500 times dimmer than it was mid-July.
