August 20th was probably the last time I was able to shoot Comet Panstarrs before it fades below 7th magnitude.   I took all my gear to a spot where the comet was not blocked by trees, like at home.  Unfortunately, the LP was bad and transparency was not up to par for this night.  I had to shoot with only 1 minute sub-images to get around that.   I was also shooting right into a huge light dome from Lafayette, LA to my northeast.    I thought I would have had better conditions, but unfortunately they were marginal, at best.
