Taken  from the Nutwood observatory of Comet Garradd as it
neared star cluster M71 To show detail of the comet and M71 
without the movement blur of the comet, the camera was set up to
take quick LRGB images and re position the comet backwards against
the digital frame board. Best viewing is done when saving image to
desktop, then use resident viewer.
