Comet Lulin 7 Feb

Hi,

Comet from this morning.
Piggybacked on the 12" OTA.

Too much city skyglow to get any tail detail.
You just can't beat a dark sky location for comets

I've also got unfocussed blue because of the cheap
DSLR glass.

Time is running out for chances at this comet.
The moon will soon ruin it for a few weeks.

It's easy to find, right next to alpha Libra (Zubenelgenubi).

Steve

Nice pic Steve, comet looks lovely next to that beautiful double star Zubenelgenubi, Alpha Librae, a visual binary (mag 2.7, 5.1). Well done
