Comet C/2009 P1 Garradd near the Ursa Minor Dwarf - March 1, 2012
Comet C/2009 P1 Garradd imaged with iTelescope T14 on March 1 close to the Ursa Minor Dwarf Galaxy. Stack of 5 images 120 sec each, stretched with FITS liberator and stacked then summed with imageJ (click to embiggen) with a light despeckle.
There was a bit of light cloud about which made the images less clear than I hoped, you can't actually see the Ursa Minor Dwarf galaxy at all in this image. Maybe tomorrow night.
