Beautiful image Russell!
Wonderful color & wide field detail... not to mention the tail is also clearly visible.

Thank you!

Hi Russell,

Wonderful image with nice detail, thanks for sharing.

Clear skies,

Both Texas comets are very nice!

Looks like you all imaged the comet about the time I did this past weekend as the ion tail is all but gone.


Here is my final reduction of the past weekend's data
