Comet McNaught C/2005 L3 was captured passing thru and in front of the serfert galaxy NGC5033, The comet at approax. 14.2 and the galaxy at mag 11 made it difficult and the dust mentioned before. but was able to make a sequence of images at 10 minute subs with a total of 2 hrs 27minutes. I then made a animation showing it's movement.
To see the animation go to my website - ( jaicoa-observatory.com ) Comet sect. and click on the pictureless thumb icon next to the still images. (need to fix)

Thanks Andy, A one time event. The next day it was on the other side of the galaxy at a pretty distance like Rick said it was a fast mover.
Thanks for the link.
