Details:
This year is going to be one of the most memorable for sky watchers World-wide, especially for comet observers. Even if there are still almost a couple of months until the first big comet of the year (L4 PanSTARRS)will emerge from the glare of the Sun in mid-March, we still have a pretty nice comet just above our heads each night now. Its comet K5 LINEAR which at the moment is hanging around the Hyades, near Jupiter, and it will stay around for a few more nights. Quite a crowded sky-region.
Still the best is yet to come, at the end of the year, with a comet of the century apparition from comet S1 ISON.
The acquisition data is noted on one of the images. At the time of the exposures a thin layer of mist was surrounding the location, limiting the view of the comets tail.
