Description

I was experimenting with some new software tweaks and decided to image comet C/2017 K2 again.  I wad completely forgotten that it was going to be near M10 in mid-July and so I had to do a full run.  However, in my rush to tear down the imaging train I forgot to take flats.  So this image is a bit messy in that I needed to keep the black point set sufficiently so that the dust donuts (and there were a large number of them) didn't completely ruin the image.  But at least I captured the passage near M10.
