Thanks, Bernard - most imagers of comets go 5 minutes and thats it.  They miss 
the real fun when they dont give it a real long shot.  
Clear Skies,

Chris

Chris,

I like the star trails. It makes it look like it is really moving, which I
guess of course it is :-)

Hi all,
 
One clear night in our monsoon and I was out there going deep on this 7.5
magnitude object in Sagitta.  The head is a very nice emerald green color,
while the faint tail is a short fan.  The comet is really moving fast
against the background stars in this 90 minute exposure, so form some very
colorful trails with many red and orange stars I would assume from thier
location in the heart of the Milkyway:

Clear Skies,

Chris
