A waxing moon permitted me to capture Garradd C 2009 P1 just after supper last night. The comet continues to fade as it journeys farther from both the Sun and Earth. This single ten minute exposure covers a 103×154 arc minutes FOV. Two magnitude 14 galaxies, NGC 2771 and NGC 2769 are between the comet and the bright star to the left.
