Camping with my astronomy club and captured this image

[Drives1937]

Last night from my Escape located 50 miles east of Blyth California. I was camping with my astronomy club and captured this image of the comet.

Beautiful!
It must have been nice to see in real life.

It was a good 3 nights with clear and dark skies. My astronomy club uses that area on a regular basis. Glad you liked it.

Still sports a decent tail. That was (is) as quite the comet. That would you estimate it's magnitude was when you took the photo?

That was 19 minutes of 10 second exposures stacked on top of each other with my SeeStar telescope. It was difficult to see with a tripod mounted eighty-power pair of binoculars.

the comet was much easier to see in low power wide field binos, both my 10x50 and my 6.5x32 made it obvious, bot have a 60 degree apparent field and APO/ED optics
