Comet Lulin and the Beehive

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Nothing flash, but no-one else has posted and image of the two together so you're stuck with mine.
Tonight they'll be much closer, but we've got clouds. Hope someone manages to capture the conjunction.

Nice one Jeanetteit also looks like you you have scored M67 in your Pic on the right hand side

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I was wondering about that smudge, thanks Ron.

[Liz]

Yes, a very pretty shot, well done jjj

[peter_4059 (Peter)]

Nice wide shot JJJ.

[Lester]

Thats a good capture of Lulin with tail and surrounds.

Well done Jeanette.

Nice shot jjj. Your shot certainly puts the comet into perspective using the Beehive as a gauge.

[Deeno]

Nice capture.

Details?

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Canon 20d using a Canon f1.8 50mm II lens.
Image is a stack of 4 x 60secs, lens f2.8 at iso 800.
Due to coma, this is a very heavy crop from the original.
Gotta get me some good quality glass to shoot through. It's a good camera and deserves much better.

Good one Jeanette! I'll have to have a look tonight if the clouds stay away.

Cheers,
Stephen
