This is how lucky I was to get this comet. Back in June Id noted that Star Atlas pro showed the comet as near the Helix Nebula, but was moving away, I didnt do the Plot Path function in Star Atlas pro long enough to realise it was going to loop back round. I just did that today, running 7 day intervals back from June, see attached image. Rectangle is approx. coverage of Bert's 300mm lens on my 350D camera, so anyone whose been imaging the helix from may to june with a field wider then mine may have caught the comet. Might be worth going over the images just in case
