Thanks guys.

Tony I only had posted it in the Comet 73P thread in the Observational forum since everyone was using that thread. (I know it's in the wrong place )

Actually I have started to reprocess the RAWs again since I was tired and in a hurry the morning I took this shot so I'll post a better one hopefully.

what garbage is this, we never lost the comet the northern observers did we had it all the time...."Comet 73P disppeared into the glare of the sun in late May, and now it's emerging again in southern skies--ideally placed for observers in, e.g., Australia and New Zealand. "

Suffering from northern hemisphere loss again. Andrew they almost ruined a perfect shot with that dribble. Thankfully I didnt capture that in the screen shot
