Comet C/2013 V5 (Oukaimeden) August 24

She's really ramping up now. In the mag 8's I think. Still an early morning object just below the Rosette Nebula. This is 20 x 2 minute subs, ED100 F7.2, Pentax K-5. There is a risk of disintegration as she swings by the Sun as it's close to the Bortle limit.

Nice pic and a good looking comet too. My view to the east is limited so I will look forward to seeing more of your pics as the comet progresses towards the sun.

Thanks Leon and Rick. About another 3 weeks in the eastern sky then it swings over to the west after sunset for a little while but it's always a horizon hugger. At peak it may reach mag 6 in a couple of weeks.

Thanks Trevor. I like this comet, even if it won't be around for long.
