Comet Neat Q4

I have put together a rendition of what Comet Neat Q4 appeared to me on May 12, 2004 at 01:25 U.T. (09:25 PM EDT). South is at the top and celestial east towards the right. The nucleus and coma were clearly visible with what appears to be the tail towards the north. A faint star was visible south and adjacent to the nucleus. The star to the right is GSC 803:470 (9.38 magnitude) and the one on the left is GSC 803:505 (10.62 magnitude). I hope that you like this impression of this interesting comet.

The best of luck in your own imaging and observations of this and other interesting comets.

Very nice sketch,good job Carlos,you can do others and have a record of this comets devolopment.

Thank you all for the kind compliments on my observation of Comet Neat Q4. I was fortunate to have observed it as my weather has been very cloudy lately. I will try to make future observations of this comet if my weather allows. I look forward to other observations and images of this and other comets in the future.
