Nice shot Paul! actually thought that brown gradient was from a dusty horizon....don`t mind that look to it. Gives that feeling of how low down it is for us...Last night was crystal clear and I could see it rising to the NE even tho it had barely risen! but was too buggered after imaging Leonos as have a bad western horizon and have to travel. Look forwards to seeing it tonight and more piccys! Shall post my Holmes from the night before as soon as I get it processed!
Great to see some blue sky and clear nights but boy that dew is heavy
cheers Gary
aww cmon you guys stop holding up still eerily glowing old incandescent light bulbs and pretending they're comets, I mean really this getting ridiculous
i saw it last night from anaemic skys BY again, and yes nice size even the reduced version from here, nearly .5 d in 8x56 binocs!
saw a nice early leonid later on, whew smokin!
I SAW HOLMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's quite high in the sky (compared to what i thought it would be). It's even above the trees I have in the north. It's next to that star, Mirfak, in Perseus. All I can see in my 15x70s is a fuzzy blob. Not quite naked eye because of the light pollution, not so great transparency, and scattered clouds....BUT I SAW IT!!!
nicely done Jeanette and Dave - look great! like the chinese paper lantern look in that widefield JJ
glad you got a look at her DJ
well i wonder when the great slueth Sherlock Holmes discovered this comet all those years ago, woulda he a thunk it would be so famous again? or was it .... elementary?
I saw Comet Holmes from a Jetstar flight last Tuesday night (Wed am) at about 1:30 am Sydney time. It was easy to see with the naked eye. We were flying from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney and somewhere between Bali and Broome at the time..
Finally back to Townsville after a 'Holmeless' holiday in Victoria. Alas, comet has faded heaps, but still a bit ..... visible as 'blur' left of Mirfak, but Moon around and will be worse tonight.
Wow,well done from the plane glenc.
