It's baaaack - Comet McNaught

Well technically it's not really back because it never went away.

Thought I'd try to bag it again tonight. Mounted the camera on the StarTracker and started snapping away. Unfortunately I only managed to get 9 x 64 sec images before thin cloud rolled in and parked itself just where the comet was.

Anyway, here is the stack of those 9 images. The comet is the faint fuzzy greenish blob just up and to the left of centre.

It's got things to do, places to go, other "people" to see - nice that it visited with us for a while.

Love the green colour.

Maybe if we all close our eyes and wish really hard it might come back to visit us? It might Thanks, Middy, it's nice to see it again.

Nice image Middy, I hope it stays long enough for me to get at least one more image with the 12"

Cheers
