Note the carbon star (HIP 53085) above the comet.

Nice shot Rob! I got tripod trail images tonight, and i took a pic through my 8" SCT last night, which i havent posted. Looks really nice!! Good stuff! I estimated visually a mag of 7.8, and Dia of 11.5', through my 10" f/5 dob @ x31. I did notice that red star in my trail image but i thought it must have been a hot pixel, but then again...pixels dont trail do they!! Interesting!!!
Thanks for pointing that out! Cheers!
