Description

Under horribly windy conditions (observatory envy) I managed to capture 25 x 120 second exposures just prior to morning twilight.  FWHM was registering above 5 so I didn't expect to much from a comet listed fainter than 12th magnitude.  I suspect this comet is much b righter than what's listed.  The comet is getting closer to both us and the sun and is expected to brighten.  The largest galaxy is NGC4144
