Comet Garradd 27 August

Imaged from my suburban backyard lat night. Directly facing the lights of Adelaide due north, the light pollution is so bad I didn't think it worth trying for RGB.

The little asterism between the comet and M71 looks like a mini version of the arrow shape of Sagitta.

I registered the stars, so there's some movement visible in the comet between frames.
