Hi Everyone!

I drove to my dark site in hopes capture a good image of the close
approach of the comet to the Ring
The Clear Sky Clock and Forcast said  "All Clear!|"
Got there before sunset and the sky was wonderful
As it darken the clouds got thicker and thicker and thicker...
I stuck it out and at times my view of this image on my screen was
totally blown out by clouds
I managed to capture the whole event (according to my camera's FOV)
116 frames (lost 2) from 10:00pm - 12:20am DST
SAC10 1 shot ccd prime on the C8 .5 focal reducer at f/5 1000mm
auto-guided with my 80mm x2 barlowed @ 1320mm 
I processed it to bring out as much image as could be seen
Since it was High Overcast and Soupy this is the best I can acheive, 
However you can see what's happening for sure.
Comments welcome
