Details:
Surprise clearing but with relative humidity @ 95%, I was limited in recording. I opted to take 10x30s exposure with ISO 8960. Nikon d7100, Nikkor 180mm ED f/2.8 @ f/4 on EQ Mount.
What looks like contrail above comet is actually tracks of satellites. This image which is fixed on 46p increased no pixel rejection (used PixInsight). Thus part of the reason for grainy noise.
Forecast is for clear moonless sky on the 8th and 9th. :-)
