Comet C/2012 F6 (Lemmon)
Just a heads up for those of you with better skies than here in Mackay. I am having trouble shooting through thick haze, so those with clear skies should get much better pics. Even the Sun is dim today.
This is Comet C/2012 F6 (Lemmon). Not sure of the magnitude, maybe 10+, maybe brighter, hard to tell through this crud. It moves into very interesting skies over the next few weeks, crossing through Crux. Should make for some very interesting pics!
This pic through haze and cloud, taken with a Pentax K-x, 2+3 min exposures at ISO 800, Skywatcher 120mm F5 achro refractor, Baader Semi-APO filter. Satellite trail on the right.
