"The night of the 13th and early morning of the 14th of January 2019 presented the best skies over the Jodrell Plank Observatory since early December 2018, so the team was active trying to capture some good images of the Comet46P/Wirtanen as it sailed through the dim constellation 'The Lynx'. Unfortunately, on the night, much of the equipment malfunctioned  and the above image constructed from a stack of salvaged light frames was the best obtained" - Kurt Thrust - acting CEO and current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
