Image Details:

I took this photo at prime focus shortly after sunset while Aries was still at a reasonable altitude. The comet was nestled next to Hamal (Alpha Arietis), to the north of Jupiter, easily visible through binoculars from the city at about magnitude 4.5. It's still getting brighter as it moves toward perihelion. It should be visible during the total eclipse on April 8!
