Low in the western skylight from perth Observatory on their equipment to get my first look at this comet. See also uncropped version. Artifact around the stars generated by DeepSkyStacker 'comet+stars' mode that tries to track and stack the comet, masking the stars, then stacking the fixed stars overlaid on the comet stack. In this case evidence of the star trails has been left.
