Description

Realizing that there have been spectacular imaging done by many on this comet, it is now coming into imaging visibility here in the north of New Zealand.  Although the moon is at 94%, had clear skies in the West and had to give it a go with my 85mm Samyang at 19h11 just before it set at 19h29.  It is at 3 degrees here and will get higher in altitude so looking forward to getting it again.  Not much but it is a start and so wanted to share.
