Comet 2004 T1 LINEAR-NEAT. January 7, 2005.
Combination of 5, 3 minute images, SBIG ST-8E CCD.
18" f/10.5 Ricthey-Chretien telescope at prime focus.
Comet 2004 T1 LINEAR-NEAT peaked at about 14th magnitude in October 2004, with southern hemisphere observers having the best views. After perihelion in November 2004, the comet faded steadily as it receeded from both the Earth and the Sun. By the time I obtained the image below, the comet had already faded to about 17th magnitude.
