Details:
Comet 45P has lost its tail but still sports a gorgeous green coma and is now exiting the dense Ophiuchus Milky Way starfield. But not before I was able to capture a 12 minute LRGB exposure with my Vixen f/3.8 refractor and SBIG 11K camera from northern Florida after the Moon set and before twilight this AM. Comet sure is moving fast!
