Description

The time window to watch this comet is very narrow, just before sunrise low on the North-Eastern horizon. Between a tree blocking the view and sunrise there was about 20 minutes of time available. So a bit of a noisy image, but the comet comes through well. The three-part tail is really long. At this point it was about magnitude 6. It will get much brighter, but as it gets even closer to the sun not sure how many windows of opportunity will still present themselves for my location.
