Comet 62P Tsuchinshan

I crawled out of bed at 5.00 this morning to take advantage of the incredibly clear, dark sky to photograph the faint comet Tsuchinshan, which at magnitude 8 is just visible in binoculars. The comet is just below the bright star Denebola in the constellation of Leo. If it's clear tonight I might have another go with a longer exposure...

As I was taking the photos, I just missed catching a really bright fireball that headed east through Leo.
