Comet Garradd/c2009P1

Hi all
After seeing it visually with the Newcastle Astronomical Society's 12 inch dob at a veiwing night near my place on Wednesday night I imaged it the following night.

I used my ironically named "Cometracker" meade 6 inch f3.6 SN.
10x5 mins ISO400. UV/IR filter, MPCC Baader Coma Corrector. Modded 350D camera.

I could not see it visually with my 8x50 finder from my place, was easy with the 12 inch in nearby Brickworks Park the previous night.
