Comet C/2015 F4 Jaques 
in the Evening sky
November 8, 2015

 
 This
            13.5 magnitude tiny comet is in the Cygnus Milkyway and gets
            nearly lost amongst the thousands of field stars. Only a very
            slight green hue, this round object is well placed near the zenith
            on November evenings. This is a 15 minute exposure set, with
            the 12.5" f/5 Newt.
