C/2007 W1 (Boattini) May 8th

Hi,
Took this image of C/2007 W1 (Boattini) tonight (08/05/2008).
It's a 10min exposure at 1600iso taken with Canon EOS 350d Prime focus with my skywatcher 102mm, piggybacked on my 10"LX200gps and autoguided with a DSI. I used a 2" Broadband skyglow filter.

Processing was brightness/contrast adjustment, I used Noiseware and cropped the image.

Just below the comet to the left there is a faint galaxy. (Lots in this area so at this stage I cannot identify.)

Boy this comet is getting bright!!!
