Garrard3

Sedro-Woolley, Wa.

Another image of Comet C2009 P1 (Garrard) taken August 16, 2011.
Celestial North to the left and East down. Still located in the constillation Delphinus.
Tracked on the comet itself which prooved to be somewhat difficult due to stars in the tracking frame as well as atmospheric conditions.
The star trails are broken up due to unuseable frames in the stacking process.
The moon was about 90% illuminated and about 50 degrees from the comet.
