Finally! Good views of comet Pons-Brooks

With no Moon, no cloud and dark skies, I was finally able to take some decent shots of Pons-Brooks , using a 300mm prime lens and 1.4 converter. If you're looking at this in a darkened room, you'll see that the comet has grown a faint tail: with luck this will lengthen and brighten over the next week or two.

Mercury was immediately below the comet on the western horizon, while Orion and itrs famous nebula were over to the south.
