Details:
I captured Periodic Comet Hergenrother 168P last night for 2 hours using my 16 scope...check out my movie of it cruising past the Earth! Look for the dust tail details and disconnection events! Heavy activity just before the comet nucleus split apart into two pieces on the 26th.
The movie is viewable via my flickr page
