Description

This image was taken just after sunset from my driveway. The comet is pretty low in the western skies and  it was a race  in setting up the mount and telescope before the comet would disappear behind the neighbors trees.
I managed to take 11 x 120seconds subs.
The comet was also easily visible in binoculars about the same fuzzy image as Andromeda.
Pretty cool stuff! It makes me happy to image and see it as well.
