Catalina Dec 2nd

Hope this series of rather unspectacular comet images isn't a bit boring.

Unexpected clear morning.  Very windy so took picture from inside the house through open front door, un-tracked as couldn't polar align

Canon 7D MkII, 200mm @f2.8, iso 1600 for 2 secs.

Cropped and stretched in Photoshop CS2.

Tails at 2 and 5 o'clock...

...good hunting!

Good shot. Hope to view it at some point over the weekend if possible with the weather.

Nice capture. Unfortunately the skies are not playing ball here.

Nice shot!

Coincidentally, I have relatives in Low Row but have never taken a scope up there when the sky's been clear - it must be one of the best places in the country to stargaze - very envious

@Highburymark....

...it certainly is dark!  Part-night lighting is also due soon (for the few lights).

Always bring your binoculars!

Hi Paul,

It's good to know someone is taking advantage of those amazing skies - it's a magical place.

Definitely will bring my Equinox next visit - we sometimes go for Christmas, though sadly not this year.

Well when there is the will there is usually a way to do it.

Nice to see it if the weather plays fairly tomorrow. I will get out there myself again, it is good news that it has improved in visibility as you mentioned in your other thread.
