Comet 252P Linear 02-04-16
252P without moon interference, the 8" F/4 image shows about 45 minutes of coma, inset shows a faint tail.
Plus a 50mm wide field, showing the 252P Lagoon nebula at bottom and Saturn at top.
252P was easily visible through 7 x 50mm finder, visually 30 minutes of coma.

Cheers,

Justin.
