You got some good captures there.

Catching an image of the comet isn't that easy is it?

Luckily at least, it seemed to be a very slow moving comet and being so large a widefield approach seemed to work the best so it didn't move much between subs. Plus it virtually had no nucleus (perhaps that's why it faded so quickly it was already virtually spent from going around the sun).

It was a very different beasty to Garrad which moved very fast.

Greg.
