The GIF animation I tried to submit would not play on the gallery, so here is a stack of 28 video frames. It spans about 12 minutes of time. You can see how much the comet moves in even that short amount of time. The comet was 20 degrees above horizon and the moon was 3/4 full. I was suprised how much it moved compared to the background stars.
