Comet 45P was supposed to be "visible" next to the new moon on New Years Eve. Our forecast called for rain, but it was clear on the 30th, so I headed out to see if I could find it a day early. No luck, but I got images of the almost new moon when it was just a sliver.
K-1 @ ISO 6400; Sigma 300 f/2.8 @ f/4; 0.4 sec exposure ... and some fun with NIK filters. https://www.flickr.com/photos/jb_sessoms/32372876231/lightbox/ This image rated #4 in consideration for the PDML Annual. Numbers 1, 2 & 3 have been uploaded. Comet 45P is due back in February, so I may capture it yet. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
