Last hoorah for Catalina & Comet Comet P/Tempel (10p)

Last hoorah for Catalina, for us southerners.
C/2013 US10 (Catalina) for 14-10-15. Probably the last image for me, this image was taken at 10 degrees altitude, seeing exceptionally good. The tail has some disruption and spreading. looks like some nice action for Northern hemisphere observers.
Comet P/Tempel (10p) for 14-10-15. The seeing was very good which may account for a somewhat brighter image of Tempel, I do think it's brightened slightly though, definitely a broad fan tail showing. The brown blotches are molecular clouds in Ophiuchus .

Cheers,

Justin.
