Comet C/2015 V2 Johnson 2017_02_21

Image obtained with the T11 scope in New Mexico which happened to be free so I used the automatic "acquire comet" routine.

 

10 minute exposure. Prominent dust tail.

 

This is a hyperbolic comet with a perihelion of 1.637 AU

Inclination is 48.97 degrees therefore antegrade.
