Comet Hartley 2 103/P
Taken using G4 in New Mexico just after it's closest approach to Earth on Oct 19 - 22 (0.121 AU), but at nearest approach to the Sun.

3 x Green 120 sec bin 2
2 x Clear 120 sec bin 1
3 x Red 120 sec bin 2
3 x Blue 120 sec bin 2
Given its apparent green colour this is a single monochrome image using the green filter
Monochrome combined image centred on the comet
and in colour
And as always my favoured animation...
