Thanks Wayne, I think that would depend on what size telescope you used.  In 
my 80mm refractor, it was very faint indeed.
Clear Skies,

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,
�
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:
