Faint, but green, in the Moon and Street-lit sky.

100% crop from 80x 15sec exposures with Canon EOS 600D, ISO 6400, 200mm f/4

Well you got it... Still a little too dim for my setup and location. At least you gave it a go, well done.

Thanks guys. With still a month to go before perihelion I hope it lifts out of the murk and really shines.

It should put on a nice little show in a couple of weeks, but I don't think it will live up to the hype either.

But one never knows with comets. What's that saying... comets are like cats. They both have tails and do what they want.

Well done Tom, a promising image indeed.
