Description

Well it was a challenge to catch this one... Comet located very low in the local sky
(~16 deg). Moon was setting (phase 0.75) as I started to image the comet in the
evening twilight. I couldn't detect coma and 96P/Machholz looks as an asteroidal
object with no activity. I found the comet exactly where MPC generated ephemerides
predicted.
