This is my first attempt at near infrared imaging of a comet. A Tak Epsilon 130 astrograph was used. A ST5 with a Meade Near IR filter was used. The total exposure was from 25 eight second accumulated exposures. Image 1 is a histogram optimized image. Image 2 is minimal processing. Image 3 is a false color image.
