Demelza,
I will have to try for that next time I am out. Wonderful capture and I like how your core is. You've enticed me to look at it! Nicely done.

Demelza,
This is a nice little comet in a star studded background of Sagitta. You have made a fine sketch of how this comet appears at the eyepiece.
