Great shot George. Through the large Cassegrain it looks almost as good as
it used to thorugh smaller equipment at it's best time.

Image is made from ten 45-second exposures with an SBIG STL-1301E thru a
20-inch F/8.1 RC Cass. Field of view is about 15x15 arc minutes. This
comet continues to fade, but it was easy to see visually in a 8-inch F/6
Dob that my friends and I were using. We also had our 6-in Astrophysics
refractor on the comet and there were a few other scopes around including
a C-9.25, and a JMI 12.5-inch NGT. We finally had a clear night in
Binghamton NY with a nice bright Milky Way stretched across the sky until
the clouds came in again around 1am local time. It's pretty easy to get
low temps on a CCD camera when the air temp is -5C.
