Comet C/2001 Q4 (NEAT)
The image was taken with the Mosaic I camera, which has a one-square degree field of view, or about five times the size of the Moon. Even with this large field, only the comets coma and the inner portion of its tail are visible. This color image was assembled by combining images taken through blue, green and red filters.
