C/2004 Q2 Machholz

After a long time of bad weather I had the chance to take some images of comet C/2004 Q2 Machholz on the evening of 14 January 2005. This was the first time out with the NIKON D70 and my 135mm and 200mm lens. Also I used ImagesPlus the first time for taking images. Not everything worked perfect, but here are the first results.
