Chris,

An excellent image of Comet Machholz (C/2004 Q2) showing the star-like nucleus, large diffuse coma, and pencil-thin plasma (ion) tail. This is very similar to what I observe through my own instrument, except for the plasma tail (only noted once). I look forward to your future images.

The new web site looks great!

Regards,
Carlos
