Comet C2017 K2 Panstarrs with IC 4665
Alerted by Bill I pulled out the star tracker and tried to find the comet after midnight. It was fairly high up in the cul-de-sac but being at the end of the driveway I struggled with the bright LED light standard. My solution while imaging at home is to block the light with a black photographic umbrella on a light stand that seems to work well. The skies were less than perfect with the clouds meandering through the frames. I took 90 - 20 second frames but only used 39 due to the clouds. I was still able to find the comet along with IC 4665. It's a pretty combination, I'll have to revisit the region visually with my small refractor while I have a chance. It was easy to spot using Beta Ophiuchi or Cebalrai.
