That is nice if slightly odd colouring.

Where is this comet? I just spent a few nights at my dark site and I couldn't see it anywhere.

Last I heard it was near Spica.

Its not a visual object unless of course you know exactly where to look. I used a finder scope to scout around but no luck.

WOW!!!!!!

Absolutely stunning, actually I think STUNNINGLY STUNNING.

Just how good is this and what subtle detail. Have seen nothing else to even remotely compare with this.
Thanks for posting Mike and hats off to Phil Jones.

This really does lift the bar, all the way to the stratosphere.

Regards
Trevor

Can anyone explain to me how you get 48 minutes on this fast mover without a grossly distorted comet, or very long star trails?

Wanna know so I can try.

I love it!

What a fantastic image, I have to see this comet before it fades.
