Comet C/2014 E2 (Jacques)

This faint little comet is now visible in the Southern skies. A single shot taken at 0936 UTC on the 22.03.2014. 1 x 180 seconds @ -25c, no darks, flats or bias with the Takahashi FSQ-106 @ F/5.0.

Widefield and cropped. The original sequence was of 5 shots but the comet is moving quite quickly and stacking showed significant elongation of the comet.

Cheers
