Great shot Kevin!

Nice to see a bright comet with a tail again. I'm hoping to get a shot in the next couple of mornings (but as I'm stuck in light-pollution central it probably won't be anything special).

Thanks Pete. I have some LP in that direction also. It's been a while since we've had a bright one.

Nice one Kevin, it's shaping up to be a nice comet, it's definitely been a long time between bright comets. Got up at 4am to have another go but a cloud band came through at the wrong time, maybe tomorrow morning will be better at least the moon is out the way.
