PhotographerGuenther NeueLocationDortmund, GermanyDateDec 29, 2007, 16:45-17:05 UTEquipmentNikon Coolpix 885 at f/2.8DescriptionThe two comets 17P/Holmes and 8P/Tuttle now show roughly similar brightness per unit area. But due to its sheer size Holmes is still a faint naked-eye object at my suburban location. It should be observed that Holmes is almost eight times more distant than Tuttle. The limiting magnitude of the composite of ten guided 8-second exposures is about 7.0. It should be remarked that the frame also contains the position of a third comet accessible to amateurs slighty above the middle of a line joining the two depicted comets: 50P/Arend at magnitude 14-15. |

PhotographerMarc DelcroixLocationTournefeuille, FranceDateDec.12th 2007EquipmentLX200GPS 10" (altaz), barlow x3 + additionnal extensions, RGB Astronomik filters, SKYnyx 2-0MDescriptionThis was a frozen night, following one month of bad weather. The anticyclon brought me good seeing, allowing me to take a good view of details in Syrtis Major, Sinus Sabaeus/Meridiani, and a haze appearing on the limb, as well as the north polar cap and the north polar hood breaking in Cydonia. Final image has been resized 150%. |
