With the warm, somewhat windy weather here over the past couple of nights, I've been trying to get a pic of this comet.

It's at mag 18.3 ATM, so it's a bit faint.

I managed to get some pics last night, five minute exposures with the ST-10XME with the RCX at f6. Even so it's very bloody faint. Here's one of the pics which shows it most clearly, the second is an animated gif showing the movement over about an hour. Check out how good your eyes are!

Cheers
Stuart
