Comet Machholz (C/2004 Q2)

I managed a bit of imaging of Machholz this evening from Montebello. It was a bit cold and dewey, but a fun evening over all.

A *lot* of work remains to be done, but here are the early results:

I'm trying to bring out detail in this shot, not make it pretty (that comes later!). I'm happy with the core detail, and note the little jet to the right.
