[Chaos-l] Nice Animated GIF Of Comet Lulin

[Terry Crook]

Remarkable pix, thanks! I would have gone out to 
look for it locally (with binocs) but have been 
fighting a nasty sinus infection lately!
Two questions (for anyone):
         What is the star in the upper right center?
         If the Sun is to the right (w/ tail 
extending behind comet), what is the variable cloud ahead at about 1'oclock?
