Details:
Not very impressive...yet? Measured at 14.1 magnitude, here is a stack of 20 x 90 second images of this potential sungrazer/fizzler taken from June Lake California (between snowstorms). The comet was less than 25 degrees up, just above Carson Peak in the constellation of Eridanus. More info can be found on the ASTROBIN website.
