Comet C2006A1 (Pojmanski) on March 4, 2006
The comet was quite easy to find even though it was behind my neighbor’s trees and it was partially obscurred by thin clouds — not exactly ideal conditions. Images for the below animation were taken at 05:15 and 05:41 am MST with Nexstar11, F3.3 focal reducer, and Stellacam2 video. Temperature was 34°F; sky was partly cloudy with thin clouds; turbulence was fair (5/10). As you can see in the animation, the comet is moving quite rapidly north (north is approximately up, east to the left in the images).
There is just a faint hint of a tail towards the west in the image below.
