Here is an image taken on a hot Friday night at Picketpost. The comet passed
very close to M71 last weekend. This weekend, it passes by the Coathanger
asterism in Vulpecula. The image was taken with a Canon 50D using a 300mm lens
with a 1.4x extender at f/5.6. Exposure was 4 minutes at ISO 1000. NGC 6802
is the open cluster at the right edge of the frame.
This image would have looked a lot better if the ambient temperature were about
50 degrees cooler.
