Description

This is my first comet ever - the first one I've seen and the first one I've photographed and it's kind of exciting!



I know that I've come pretty late to the comet party - dozens have been posted already in various forums, but I finally got my first clear moonless sky opportunity last night. Better late than never!

Anyways, I'm still pretty unfamiliar with my new mount and I couldn't get the guiding system working, so this image was done unguided with short 60-second exposures to keep the stars round. Not the greatest, but better than no comet at all. I'll be ready for the next one.
