Description

I imaged the comet in a short clear sky window on the morning of the 8th January 2016. Over the previous 3 months any clear sky has been rare in North Yorkshire so I count this as a lucky opportunity even though my dark sky site was officially closed the previous day. It required sneaking in, setting up for 01:00am, imaging until the clouds came back at 03:05, tearing down and finally sneaking out at 05:00 am before dawn.

My dark sky site opens again 1st March (its a holiday park with chalets and trailers).
