Lulin-zooming along

Here are two 20 second images of Comet Lulin, taken with the

Hi JJJ,

A very good demonstration of just how quickly this comet is moving or more to the point just how close to the Earth it's path is. Must be nice to get some more good weather to follow Lulin.

Regards
Trevor

Hi JJJ

You are doing some amazing work Jeanette with the gear you have at your disposal; I’m humbled by your enthusiasm, productivity and “can do” approach. Top shots that reveal the dynamics of our solar system so well.

Cheers

Dennis
