[APML] Another Comet Machholz Image

["Thomas W. Earle" <twade@bmi.net>]

Here's another Comet Machholz image I took using Fuji NPZ 800.  I
guided on the comet for 30 minutes at F/4.0 using the Pentax SMC
300mm F/4.0 EDIF lens.  Let me know if you think it is over
processed or have any comments about the image.

Side Note:  I centered the comet in the field of view because at
this time, I was having a difficult time in figuring out the
direction of the ion tail.  This was the safest composition.
Finally, there's a similar image of shorter duration which I guided
on the stars.  The link for it is embedded in the description.
