Comet Elenin - 2 Sept.

Hi all, been a while since I posted anything, here is a shot of C/2010 X1 Elenin, taken around 1855 tonight.

Only managed 5 x 2 minutes @ -20c, ST8300C OSC. Comet was setting fast in the western sky and was disappearing into the Zodiacal Light which was quite bright from this location, telescope was almost horizontal. A couple of faint galaxies are visible in the upper right.

Takahashi FSQ-106ED.

Cheers
