73p was created by ei5fk
Had a quick look with binoculars last night before going to bed, it was overcast most of the night but cleared up for a short while, saw nothing due to light pollution from the moon I guess, saw 2 fragments on 3 nights this week so no complaints

Heres a few images i took last night before dawn from the country using my Fuji S5600 5MP camera at ISO800 - 1600/15 sec exp and high optical zoom. Images are unguided. My camera has no noise reduction so the images are very noisey/grainy however i did pick up the green coma of C within Lyra below Kappa Lyrae. At the time the moon was low in the west obscured by clouds, the east was bright with approaching dawn but at the zenith the sky was beautiful and Dark. In the 10X50s C was in the same FOV as Vega and i could also see it with the naked eye. B was faint and diffuse.

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680
