Description

A composite stack of 2 hours' worth of imaging data. Still needs a bit of work, but I think last night was the best night for shooting this comet, and may be the best, for a while. Despite a biting cold and standing outside - in shorts! - for more than two hours (combined set-up and tear-down) time, this was well worth it.

I should also add, I had to change out the battery on my camera with two spares - twice! My camera apparently goes through the battery power like crazy when it's really cold out! It's a good thing I carry a number of spares!
