You have all probably had enough of images of this comet, this was my second opportunity to image it, the first being a disaster with a misty camera cover slip.

Took this last Thursday in between snow flurries and a big moon in the sky, 33 mns total RGB with the SXVFH35 though the FSQ

Sweet image Mark.

Getting a moving target and a star cluster in the same field of view couldn't have been easy....

Nice one..

[Talitha]

Your perseverance was worth it, this is absolutely stunning!

Fantastic picture!!! One of the best I've seen of this Comet.

[Beyond_Vision]

Absolutley fantastic capture Mark the comet looks very majestic against the cluster. Beautifully framed too.

Superb superb superb!!

When I saw this in my Dob I was just hoping somebody would get this very image! My kit was busy doing something else.

Excellent work. I'd really like the full size version of this for my collection, would you be able to send it to me by any chance? I would also like to combine your image with mine of M44 and see what comes out PM for email address if that's ok with you.

Thanks for posting

Thanks all for your comments.

TJ - Yes it was a nice view though the 12", glad I got this chance to image it. Im working on a new version of this I had not registered the image of the stars all that well and they are slighly out of alignment and therefore not very bright. Once Ive finished I can send you a copy, files would be large so posting it may be the best option, let me know your address.

Cheers

Mark,

That's a stunning image - no doubt about it.

Bet it would look superb printed out.

You will be sending it to the mags won't you?

Fantastic back drop for the comet - well done.

Barry.

[Doc]

One of the best.

Hey,

great image i really wanted this image myself, but i was too late getting round to it, the clouds came in and i was stuffed.

really nice image it has a lovely balance of brightness the comet and cluster are nicely exposed and the colour is great.

does any one have an image of the Ion tail coming away from the comet? it is a rare thing and would be another lovely image

Fabulous! If just wish I had some some clear skies to see these close together.
