A fading Pons Brooks
Well I've been trying to get a decent shot of this comet for a few weeks now but either the weather or lens issues have prevented me doing so. The best chance I got so far was last night, fading now as it heads away from the sun. There's not much sign of a tail, probably because this shot was taken towards Melbourne's light polluted skies from the north eastern outskirts of the city, so hardly a chance of showing any great detail. At least there's still enough colour and shape to set it apart from the stars.
