Comet Lulin Fades...

This winter has brought poorly timed cloudy skies (i.e. during new moon periods), so that following the progress of Comet Lulin has been a rather frustrating pursuit. This single frame shot of comet Lulin in the "bottom" of Gemini was the only half-way decent shot I was able to get on this evening, sandwiched between moonset and the arrival of clouds.
