252p 20160322 0610 phart

My first look at Comet 252P, just squeezing into the last possible morning. Moonset at 6:02am. Twilight starts at 6:02am. Image captured at 6:10AM in central Victoria.

Canon 6D, Samyang 35mm lens f2.8, 2 mins, ISO800. And a little StarSpikes Photoshop help.

Easily visible to the naked eye - such a large and unusual object. Similar surface brightness to SMC.
