Lulin with Pentax 75 SDHF

[prokyon]

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.

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.

Sensational. Well done.
