Comet Hartley 3rd November

Hi Folks,
Well after maybe a year or two I have managed to image another comet!
Done a quick run after a great night of imaging (first night in nearly two months) Got in 20 minutes or so before twilight with the 8" newt.
Slightly cropped and stretched hard in this one 2 minute exposure @ iso 1600 to show a faint dust tail at 9 o`clock, very faint but there...
Don`t know if I get another chance for this one by the looks of the weather forecast!
Couldn`t see it naked eye but easy in the 50mm finder...
cheers Gary
