Hi list, I was able to observe the comet last night. The southern hemisphere is disfavoured, we have clear skies though...
It is a bright star for the unaided eye, in a 10x50 it appears as a small bright circular disk. The 4" Newtonian reveals a circular disk with a bright center, just outside the center of the disk. I made some fotos. I used a Canon EOS 350D digital camera and a 300m lens, took 30 exposures of 1" each and stacked. Then I used a Larson-Sekanina algorithm to reveal a shell structure, yet no eruptions or jets. Look here for the pics: (the german words are the same what I described here, basically): (scoll down) http://www.meteoros.de/php/viewtopic.php?p=23601#23601 Clear skies, Jan ______________________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!
