Details:
This shot was taken this morning around 5:30am, and the comet was about 8 degrees above the distant mountain ranges. Very faint visually being so low in the morning twilight, around mag 6 or so. A positive and negative shown here, the neg image shows the complex but faint gas tail present at this time. A 50% moon was also blowing away the sky as well, making this a nice shot for showing the promise this comet has when dark skies return in a week.
