Taken 2013-03-22 2:45UT (2013-03-21 8:45pm MDT) from SLC, UT using a Meade ETX 125 and an old DSI Color camera at prime focus. The comet was only 5 degs above the horizon behind clouds, and the ETX-DSI TFOV is such that only the 3-4 arcmin central coma was captured. True colors where white against a neutral gray-blue sunset sky. No dark flat or hot pixel corrections were made. When this poor quality picture was taken, the advancing spring twilight is rapidly overtaking this receding and dimming comet.
