Comet C/2013 V5 Oukaimeden visible in the finderscope

This one is getting bright quickly. I could line up the main scope with it easily visible in the 8 x 50 finder. In the 100mm refractor with 28mm eyepiece it was very easily visible with some signs of tail. It's so bright it only needed one 2 minute sub. ED100 at F7.2, Pentax K-5.

Nice catch Kevin, well done! Looks like that one is going to be a bit too low down here

Unfortunately is isn't getting any higher. It's downhill from here until it pops out of the western sky - if it survives perihelion.

Heads up for anyone willing to drag themselves out of bed. On the 8th the comet is close to open cluster NGC 2506 and the next morning on the 9th it's in the middle of NGC 2539. Unfortunately for the latter a bright moon will interfere.

I really wish I had the time to get to bed early, wake up early, let the scope cool down, align the scope and then take 40 minutes worth of subs like you Kevin, all before the sun comes up!

Use a refractor, no need for cool down, shoot for a minute or two like in this shot from this morning, that just leaves alignment.

An easy catch using 7X50 binoculars this morning with some careful star hopping. I plan to be out on the 8th and 9th with a telescope as it should be a fine sight with NGC 2506 and then 2539.

Cheers

Steve.

Did anyone get a clear shot of 2013 V5 and cluster NGC2539 this morning? I barely managed 51 seconds through a cloud sucker hole.

No luck either in southern Tassie. Clouded out with strong winds.

To the SE of NGC2539 Niv. It's moving very fast now. It will only be in the morning sky for a few more days before it appears in the west after sunset - if it doesn't break up.

From this morning. Full moon was interfering but it's still visible in the finderscope.

Comet C/2013 V5 (Oukaimeden) 2014 0913 1840 - 1900UT. Light pollution and Moon interference. No filter (clear). More details in image. This may be my last from the eastern sky as showers are forecast for tomorrow and it dips too low for me after that.
