My C/2010 X1 (Elenin) pic

I managed to get it before it sank into the trees, in fact some part of a tree was intruding into the image.
2x5 mins ISO400. Modded 350d. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian

Heres a better pic, taken last night, this time I started even before fully dark and kept going till it set into trees, again trees causing the image not to be fully flat.

Nice image. Its pretty low in the south west just after sunset. Not my best angle from my observatory but I did manage to get about 15 minutes of luminance. It was right next to a galaxy tonight, so it looks kind of cool.

Does this one rise early in the morning later on or do we not see it again?

Greg.
