Taken 10/7/2010 as the comet passed the Double Cluster. 42 - 90sec images stacked in DSS in Comet Mode to keep it from streaking. 7 Darks.
80mm F/5 scope.
Hope you like it.

Nice capture Jeff! I was wondering where the comet was last night as I was imaging M31. 80mm F5 scope gave a nice widefield...I'll have to try that with my guidescope tonight.
