Description

Waking up at 3AM by -5°C outside is quite an experience. However it was worth it.
The comet was invisible to the eye from Bortle 5 sky, but with rigourous spotting method it was easily found.
120s sub exposure is somewhat too long, hence some blur. Proceeding was tough with DSS, wich has a strange behavior when it comes to select comet core. Some Photoshop later I don't think I can manage to obtain a better result.
I stay very modest when I see the wonderful results from some astrophographers.
