Comet C/2009 F4 (McNaught) - 15th Oct
Hi all,
This comet was in a convenient location for photographing it, and at reasonable magnitude (~14 apparently). Few others are in viewable locations for me at the moment.
I've got no idea if it's increasing or decreasing in brightness etc, just simply took a pic in amongst other tasks I was doing with the observatory. Perhaps if someone knows the comet's info they can add some commentary.
12" SCT @ f/10 (~2900mm)
ST8-XME @ bin 2x2
Stracking at the comet rate's (PME), otherwise unguided.
10 x 3 minute exposures
Roger.
