Very nice shot. You managed a way to display the photos showing a faint comet clearly in a packed area of the sky. Really nice!

And now let it go Time for the next comet.

Hi, Luis.

Don't think so!

It's important to follow this comet all the way.

It's a rare comet, and even more so that it was caught on the way in then by SOHO.

Cheers,

Justin.
