Details:
First time here at 42 degree latitude to see and photograph this comet. Was at 18 degree altitude in a fine clear night. It shows a big coma and ionized filamentary tail with detachments. It was difficult to see at nacked eye, need adverted vision! I try for first time my new TS Boren-Simon 10 inch F/2.8 with new Apogee Alta U-47!!! A 100 sec LRGB for each channel. The comet promise to become a great comet!
