Comet Lulin and the Beehive

[jjjnettie]

Nothing flash, but no-one else has posted and image of the two together so you're stuck with mine.:P
Tonight they'll be much closer, but we've got clouds. Hope someone manages to capture the conjunction.

Nice one Jeanette:thumbsup:it also looks like you you have scored M67 in your Pic on the right hand side:)

[jjjnettie]

I was wondering about that smudge, thanks Ron.

[Liz]

Thats a good capture of Lulin with tail and surrounds.

Well done Jeanette.

Nice shot jjj. Your shot certainly puts the comet into perspective using the Beehive as a gauge.

[Deeno]

Nice capture.:thumbsup:

Details?

[jjjnettie]

Canon 20d using a Canon f1.8 50mm II lens.
Image is a stack of 4 x 60secs, lens f2.8 at iso 800.
Due to coma, this is a very heavy crop from the original.
Gotta get me some good quality glass to shoot through. It's a good camera and deserves much better.:(

Good one Jeanette! I'll have to have a look tonight if the clouds stay away.

Cheers,
Stephen
