C/2009 R1 McNaught
This morning I attempted to image comet C/2009 R1 Mcnaught. The comet was extremely low in the northeast sky just prior to morning twilight - only 10 degrees above my light polluted horizon. The image below is a sum of 22, 60 second exposures through a Takahashi Epsilon 160 astrograph using my Canon 5D mark II.

You do some beautiful work Dave!
Nice shots!
Nice pics Dave! You took shorter exposures than I did, so I've blown out the core - you preserved all the detail very nicely!
