252P/LINEAR fo 02-03-16 The galaxy in the field is NGC 2090, tonight 252P will be within 14 arc minutes of the galaxy.
I've been imaging a lot of comets recently for Comet Watch and various groups .
Posted this here in case some imagers would like to have a crack at this conjunction.

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice image with faint comet and Galaxy among the stars. This year is looking like not too many bright comets so I hope one gets discovered.
Keep up the good work
