could not spot the comet (Blue Mountains)

Tried to capture the comet wide-field with Risa's SkyTracker. No luck.

Canon 40D, IS 18-55 lens, 120 seconds, f/4, ISO 1000, manually focused, RAW, minor processing in DPP. North is up; east is left.

I like the lumpy bits on the top edge, the Milky Way.

Shot also contains a few other Messiers... M39, M52, the Cooling Tower (M29), M33, the Little Dumbbell (M76), M103, and technically M32 and M110. Yes, they are all extremely tiny and not, in general, discernible.

The Double Cluster is easily tagged...
