Thanks, Kevin. Your image is good! Definitely registered on the comet.

One of us remembers back in 1986 or so seeing Halley's Comet through binoculars, and being bitterly disappointed. They'd broken their solemn word. There's Guvamints for you. Your shot is far better!

The night we did the comet, we had guests over, were struggling with a lower shutter limit microswitch that didn't want to work, and a main target coming into sight, so we didn't do colour. In retrospect, a couple hours on the comet would have been a far better investment of time.
