This image has to be rotated by 72.9 deg clockwise to achieve the standard orientation, i.e. north up and east left. The waning moon posed great influence on the observation. Fog and haze. The temperature was only 2 Celsius. For photometry and astrometry please visit this page. An animation showing the motion of comet was also presented there.
