Lulin with Pentax 75 SDHF

Hi all,

yesterday I observed this comet for the 1st time.
I used the Pentax 75 SDHF with Canon 350d mod., 7x180s, 1x340s, ISO 800

You can also see the galaxies NGC 4718, NGC 4705 and NGC 4697.


cheers

Werner, what an excellent effort.

The nucleus and tail are very well defined.

I use Deep Sky Stacker. This program has a comet tool:

I made a little animated gif using the 8 pics. You can see the moving of the comet within 35 minutes:

Werner your image (post#1) is excellent. Lulin was similar to that this morning but fainter in a 10" Dob.
