That is seriously green! :shock:

And pretty cool to see this coming and target it up like this. :thumbsup:

The last green comet I remember, maybe a year or so ago, I tried to walk through in Stellarium to see if I could get it close to any DSO's, but nothing panned out. But that's okay, I also completely flubbed trying to get a decent image of the comet itself at all. Next one, I'm using OSC instead of making a mess out of mono. :lol:
