Starman Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Not really sure where to post this one so I'll put it under widefield...Here's a shot of Pojmanski popping up over my hedge this morning. Very green coma and a nice tail. FOV is ~1.5x2.5 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Oh my :shock: That really is something Pete can't say as i have seen it yet i did look last night but the Atmosphere and thin clouds stopped any view's of the Comet. The tail looks to of grown from the last image i seen of the comet last week?Would you say the Comet is well within the Reach of say 10x50 Binos?Excellent Image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I thikn 6:30 would be too late from the UK Mark. Have you got daylight saving turned on? Comet was easy to see in 11x80 binoculars although I couldn't make out the tail - just a fuzzy head. 6x30 finder showed the head too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
