| Comments: | Last night the sky cleared and I got another chance to try and capture this comet, it was also the first night I was able to visually see it with the naked eye, appearing as a fuzzy greenish ball in the sky. The movement of this comet has increased across my scopes field of view as it gets closer to us, and is more apparent over the space of one hour worth of timelapse footage. |
