Hello altogether,

on 2016-04-04, we were lucky, because actually, wind from the south takes lots of sand from the Sahara desert over Europe, but not that night.

Me and my friend Günter (http://kerschhuber.astronomie.at/) decided to take some shots of NGC 3628 and combine them. I was a bit impatient and combined my Lumiance the next day - and there was some blurred structure next to NGC 3628. I asked Guide9...and found out, that 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko passed by the galaxy.

The lander "Philae" landed on this comet on 2014-11-12. So, although the comet isn't very bright, I like the image...

Image data and better resolution (http://deeplook.astronomie.at/ngc3628_67p.htm)

Best regards, Markus

That's a beauty, well done. Love the amount of tail you've got on a dim object. It's on my list because of Rosetta too...
