Details:
Finally a clear, dark and dry night after a couple moths without as the reluctant monsoon seems to finally be giving way to typical clear fall skies.
I decided to spend the last hour of the night imaging this interstellar interloper, mostly to see how difficult it might be. I was pleasantly surprised to see it quite easily in the very first image of the sequence, right where it was calculated to be.
Celestron 11" SCT with Starizona Hyperstar operating at f/2. QSI 690 monochrome camera with luminance filter. Stack of 30 exposures at 2 minutes each, aligned on the comet.
