Description

Conditions were pretty lousy, somewhere between hazy and cloudy, but got some reasonably clear sky for a long enough stretch to shoot this. Did this by guiding on the comet nucleus using 15 sec guidecam exposures; the guiding is mostly in dec, so it was lousy, but it's a fuzzy target, so you can't really tell. Worked well enough, and I am pretty happy with the result, especially compared to my last comet attempt.
