C/2013A1 approaching GC NGC 362

Hi All,

A short video of the approach of this comet towards NGC 362. From my observing location the comet should occult the edge of the globular cluster sometime in the early morning. Here's hoping the weather holds!!



Cheers
Stuart

That's really nice! I'm trying to image the same thing just now, but the comet is too small and faint for my kit (250mm lens and tracker) to be more than a smudge, and conditions are very ordinary too, so not expecting to get a postable image. So I really hope your skies remain clear and will look forward to seeing more of your images
