Image of Comet C/2007 F1 (LONEOS) from 7:26 pm MDT this evening, a couple minutes before it disappeared behind a neighbors roof.  The comet appears quite large and bright in the TV zoom eyepiece at 24mm, maybe somewhat bluish. I did not see a tail, though there is a hint of one in the below image. Image taken with Canon Xti, 20 sec exposure at ISO1600, F6.3 focal reducer, Celestron Nexstar11 scope.
