Description

41P/Tuttle–Giacobini–Kresák is a periodic comet in the Solar System. The comet nucleus is estimated to be 1.4 kilometers in diameter. Next perhilion is o April 12, 2017.

Conditions were relatively clear with bad seeing. Still got enough images to track the comet for an hour and a half. I will use shorter exposure times next time, since the comet is moving pretty fast already.
