The other night at SPOC Daniel mentioned Comet Hartely being in the sky. So tonight I thought I'd have a go at it when it was near the zenith. Shot 10 one minute exposures tracking on the comet. Applied dark and flat to each and then combined them. As usual my image tweaking skill failed me and all I can come up with is a small bright coma. So I've posted the combined but otherwise untweaked image here so maybe some of you with better skills than I can have a crack at it: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/103P-HARTLEY-01.FIT.ZIP Cheers, patrick
