[APML] Oldie---Comet Ikeya-Zhang from 2002

This has been sitting around for a while, and I have at last one more
urban shot (a barely visible IZ flanked by Queens apartment
buildings!) I'll try to put up as time allows.

    http://www.astrofoto.org/gallery/solar/comets/c2002-c1.html

I shot this from north of NYC on the night IZ made it's close approach
to M31---M31 is visible just below the comet in this shot.  Obviously,
there have been some *much* better shots of this conjunction, but this
was a fun one for me; throw everything in the car, drive like mad to
the meeting location, set up in the dark (because I was late and
traffic was horrible), make a rough guess at polar alignment and shoot
some short exposures hoping for the best.
