Great stuff yet again Kev. Nice to see a comet image - been a long time since we've seen one. I hope the observatory is going well. Can you get low enough to shoot comets from the observatory or did you shoot this one from the window? :).
Nice star colours and that tail is quite distinct. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Tel. This shot was taken from the new observatory. Unfortunately compromises had to be made which limits my lowest look angle to the east to 30 degrees. So I will have to miss a few comets.
Thanks Luis. I think it's on the way out now.
