Details:
In the early hours of this morning (1st April) Comet 252P/Linear was blazing through the faint stars of Serpens Cauda (The tail of the Serpent) and heading for the constellation of Ophiuchus.
The last quarter Moon again made the sky very light but with perseverance I found the comet by its pretty green colour among the stars :-)
Images taken with a Canon 70D camera and a Canon 100-400 mm lens set 250mm; exposure time was 10 seconds and ISO 2000, 10 images were stacked in DSS and processed in PS CS4.
