Description:
Now, this ordinary looking image can be a daylight sighting of the comet, as it is a minute before the sunset. But it may also be the last day of the comet in twilight, at the Sun about to set is already behind the higher hills. I "dialed" the position of the comet using the telescope from the Sun. I could not get a glimpse of Mercury though, only 1/2 degrees away from the comet.
