cheers Terry! another beauty! taken while you tucked up nice and cosy asleep I assume as well - I am seriously impressed by all these automated set ups out there now - image while you sleep! amazing, now we just need robots to send to work in our stead and we will be really laughing
I would like to be able to say 'I took this photo while I was asleep' ..one day
ahh I see I got the days wrong on the alignment - whoops- tomorrow morning it is.
Well I'm with Houghy, the weather gods (and the moon) have really stuffed up most of this apparitition for us here, oh well cant win them all! the summer ones seem to be our forte' down here for sure. May appears to accursed for this region now, I will forever dread comets that peak in May.
Well looking at the weather for the next few days/week that is practically the end of 73P for me - might have another squiz at them with the scope when they fit in a low power telescope view.
Cant really say I have totally completely enjoyed this comet, as I have hardly seen it, and it has been a major disruption to normal life, sheer blinkin torture really, with not much to show. First bright comet in several years we didnt get to image, even once, for us too. I'm in a mixed mind on this one, from a personal experience point of view.
