Comet 17P/Holmes

Gotcha!

There's a new star in Perseus that doesn't belong there - cloudy here but thin enough to get photos through :-)

Dead centre here...

wow it really is bright.. I just hope the cloud clears here a bit later on

:shock:

Any chance you could stick the names of some of the stars? Or better superimpose a printout from one of the finder charts?

I have to look for this but its way way too cloudy here tonight, I take it this will be visible for a few days/weeks?

Here is a chart for magnitude comparison ( including the comets path in Perseus ) with magnitudes from the Tycho Catalogue http://www.shopplaza.nl/astro/comets/17PCH01.png . Grand capture by Paul . Thick cloud here in West Yorkshire at the moment

Finally got a decent shot of this amazing comet through the 'scope...

Clear skies,
