Description

I took this image about a week after this comet originally flared up. It was done at prime focus through a Meade SN-10 with an un-modified Canon 300D DSLR. It is a composite of about a dozen exposures of durations from .5 secs to 3 minutes at ISO 800. It was taken in my observatory at High Rolls, NM.
