Description

Five revisions each showing comet C/2023 H2 Lemmon imaged for around an hour, just prior to evening comet-set.  Grouping the comet in 20 minute integration time seem to be the sweet spot to prevent blurring of the faint tail structure and keeping the SNR respectable.   This comet has brightened up to better than 8th magnitude (COBS website) and is closing quickly ( Might have to comet track shortly) on the earth with earth's MOID on November 10th.
