IYA2009 greetings from Nova Scotia! Is this forum open to northern hemisphere observers too (once registered)? I was observing Lulin about 9 hours before you took your photo Deeno. After studying the starfield of your photo on Starry Night, I would say you took your exposure about 12:41 UT Feb28th when it was near the 5.2 mag star Nu Leonis. How close am I? I was observing Lulin last at 03:51 UT, Feb 28 (23:51 AST local time Feb 27) At that time it was about 1 degree west of Regulus after having observed its close pass beneath Regulus earlier in the evening. It is neat that this comet is so conveniently located for both hemispheres to observe each night.
