PhotographerGABRIEL BAQUEROLocationNear Valencia, Spain.DateNovember, 25th, 2008. 18:28 UTCEquipmentNiko D80DescriptionPicture taken from the cockpit of an A320 fliying from Valencia, Spain, to Madrid, Spain, at 25,000 feet. As the two other pictures Ihave just submitted, I think they can be interesting for having been taken from the cockpit of an airliner, though their quality cannot match that of the pictures you display. |

PhotographerMaximilian TeodorescuLocationDumitrana, RomaniaDateFebruary 6, 2009; 04:04 U.T.Equipment102mm F/5 Sky Watcher refractor on EQ 5 with SynScan, Canon EOS 350DDescriptionThe close proximity to Zubenelgenubi made finding Lulin an easy task for no more then 5 seconds after setting the equipment in place ! It was the first time I've obsearved a two-tailed comet at 180 degrees to each other ! I've aslo tried to observe it visualy but I can't say for sure that it was there: the close proximity to Zubenelgenubi made it quite hard to spot the fuzzy object, but from time to time I could say that something was there...I can't wait for the next few weeks as the comet comes closer to Earth, and rises higher at my location. |
