Captured from my backyard Observatory in Dayton, Ohio with my Celstron C6 Newtonian Telescope & ZWO 174MM Cooled Mono Cmos Camera. Strong nearby Moonlight interfered a bit, but I managed to process most of it out and stretched the image in Maxim DL to help show the faint tail and
comet Nucleus with forward facing fan bow shock.
