I took this last night from a darker sky on the outskirts of Melbourne. Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas in the constellation Leo. Captured with a 6 inch Newtonian on an HEQ5pro mount and a Fujifilm XT-100. 30 X 20secs @6400iso. Quite a few faint fuzzies can be seen in the uncompressed version, I think the bright galaxy to the right of the comet is NGC 3640, correct me if I'm wrong.

Nice record of this rather impressive comet.
It sits majestically amongst the constellation of Leo with galaxies all around.
Very cool shot Mick.
Well done mate.
Agreed, a great effort indeed, well done.

We will wait with anticipation and hope it surprises us all in a good way over the coming weeks.
