Many thanks to all for your feedback on my comet image.

I am sure that you will be pleased to know that I have downloaded SGBNR and
will see how it goes with other images on the same roll of film.

Thanks Juan for your excellent work in taking my grainy comet shot and
making it into something presentable.
