As usual we got bad weather and I got only 14 images this night.
Still that was enough to let me see some traces of the comet.
At bottom in the middle.
The magnitude of the comet these days are about 12. |

Looks that I got the comet near the edge of the field of the camera.
My Goto precision was that good at that time.
A bit strange look of the comet, it doesn't have any bright core. |

Just to be sure that it's the comet Iwamoto on the photo I set up a star chart at the area for that time the photo was taken. |
