Nice one Dylan! The Moon made it easy to find.

Nice crisp image Dylan!

Really got some good detail in the comets tail for the F/L.

Cheers,

Justin.

Great image Dylan.

Thanks guys! Not quite Kevin's amazing shot but I'm pretty happy for a DSLR with no tracking. Here's a 35 exposure stack as well for good measure.

Nice pic Dylan hopefully we get some gaps this evening.

That's great!

And it's not an easy shot to get. The stars, the Moon and the comet all move at different rates and directions to each other! Plus the Moon is so bright it flares all over the place. I think you have captured it very well.
