Details:
Fading comet is now in southern Ursa Minor but remains much brighter than expected this far into its orbit. Two tail structure still visible in the mono image. 5th magnitude M-class star HIP 69373 visible bottom right corner of frame. Also note in mono image the three faint meteors emanating from a radiant just off the top edge of the frame (North is up). There were many meteors tonight including a few brighter ones so likely a minor shower occurring now. Technical details: Pentax K-3 with DA*300/4 lens @ f/4.5, all on an unguided AstroTrac TT320X-AG Calibration, stacking, gradient removal and non-linear transformation of 18 x 60s subs in PixInsight v1.8.4; noise reduction and contrast enhancement in darktable v2.0.1
