Nice image, Chris. I think the visual impact of the comet is quite good as 
well, especially at this stage of its development. I wouldn't call it a "bust". 

Clear skies,

Hi all,
&#65533;
One clear night in our monsoon and I was out there going deep on this 7.5 
magnitude object in Sagitta.&#65533; The head is a very nice emerald green 
color, while the faint tail is a short fan.&#65533; 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
