C/2001 Q4 NEAT heading towards M44

Cleared late evening but still very misty conditions. Took this
widefield photo of NEAT C/2001 Q4 in Cancer. Managed a few scope
images but the comet's altitude is forcing me to odd corners of my
garden and polar alignment was not brilliant.

Nice shot. Looks like you also caught a satellite hafway between Beta and
Delta Cancri

Thanks Chris.

It wasn't a satellite - just one of the many inbound planes heading
north, probably towards Gatwick. I find it quite difficult to get a
widefield shot without one at that time of night. Noisy bleeders they
are too!
