Very nice catch!

Hmmnnn.......very nice! According to this site it's going to be around mag 5, so should be worth checking out in the morning sky. Thanks!

Very nice capture always good to see a distant object in the field of view as well.

Thats a different comet. The one you are thinking of is Catalina.

Yeah, sorry. My mistake. My bad!

[Pete Presland]

Yeah, sorry. My mistake. My bad!

Catalina sounds like it should provide some decent views as we approach xmas, especially as gets closer to Arcturus.

panstarrs 2013 X1 is about 10th Mag now and listed as brightening. So it might be worth a look when the moon goes away.

It gets to within 30" of Mirach on the evening of 7th Dec. Could be another photo opportunity - Comet, Mirach & NGC404 all in the same shot.

That's a really well composed shot, well executed. You should be proud of that shot.
