Comet C/2012 T5 (Bressi)

Hi,

Here's another comet apparently undergoing an outburst, cometC/2012 T5 Bressi.
Around the 20th it was around 16th mag, could be around 11th mag at the moment.
A little difficult to image with the full moon, and only being 25 degrees above the western horizon in Sculptor.
It's sporting a nice tail, certainly plenty of comet action at the moment.

I've supplied a location map, two false colour images between 2200 and 2230, plus one original.

All are 5 x 1 minute exposures.
With my equipment below.

Cheers,

Justin.
