Very nice, Lester. Great colour contrasts too. It really is zipping along from night to night.

Thanks Tony and Graeme for your comments. Actually I did not know if I was pointed at the comet till I took a few exposures, then I could see it move in relation to the stars. It hasn't got the comet green colour that usually gives them away.
