I imaged it extensively last night with both CDK17 and a DSLR lens setup.

I haven't processed it yet. I have 2 nights worth. I didn't notice that in the subs though.

Thanks Greg!

Looking forward to your image.

Funnily enough, Terry Lovejoy captured one on his latest image of L4 PanStarrs too.

Cheers!

Thanks for that!

Nice to have confirmation.
These comets are keeping us on our toes!

Cheers,
