About the time I meant to stop imaging on Nov. 3, 2018, I noticed this comet on the SkySafari map and that Gemini, the comet's current location, was near zenith. This is 24x60" of the comet through a CLS filter in front of the SXVF-H9. The telescope was the Synta-ONTC 8". I could see the comet move between frames, which was pretty neat. The comet has an orbit of 38 years, so if you are >50, like I am, you may not want to miss it!
