Comet Boattini (2007 W1)


Date:4/16/08
Time : 10:36 pm MT
location: Amadoo, AZ
11hr 37.246
-19d 41.1

I caught this comet Boatinni at around 9th magnitude even during moonlight.
It has a rather bright nucleus and a roundish coma.
this one below taken at 11:57 shows the movement during that duration
