Comet 9p Tempel 1

Even though there was some cloud hovering around, I managed to get a look at the comet for about 2 hours on and off in between observations of M51 and the supernova,and at times cloud interfering, I didn't notice anything different in the shape of the comet from what it looked like on Saturday but the comet seemed a bit fainter, there was a galaxy in the same field MCG-2-35-10 with a given mag of 12.1 which has a 11 mag star in it, this galaxy seemed brighter than the comet which was very diffuse.
telescope used 16"F4.5 Newtonion Dob, 13mm Nagler and 9mm Plossl
Ceased observing at 21:00 due to cloud. astroron
