PhotographerTunç TezelLocationnear Bolu, TurkeyDate26th December 2007EquipmentCanon EOS 5D camera at ISO 3200, 100-400 mm lens at 400 mm, composite of 1-minute exposure f/5.6 and 2-minute exposure at f/11 to prevent Mars' glare. All system piggybacked on an 8" Meade LX10 SCT.DescriptionMars at opposition passed 2.5 degrees north of bright open cluster M35 and its companion NGC2158. This is the second close pass of Mars, thanks to its retrograde motion, the first was in early October and the last will be in mid-March. |

With long, careful observations using averted vision, I could barely pick the comet out with my naked eye! |

Thirty-one 30-second exposures at f/5, ISO 1600.DescriptionThe coma had a diameter of more than 1.4 degrees along its longest axis, and a width of about one degree. NGC 1169, a magnitude 12.4 galaxy, can be faintly seen near the right edge of the coma. |

PhotographerJodie ReynoldsLocationFolsom, CA, USADateDec 14, 2007 @ 01:43 PSTEquipmentCanon 20D, f/3.6, 800 ASA, 20s, 18mm, Atlas piggyback mountDescriptionThis was a pretty good shower this morning. Many dim meteors, averaging about 20/hr from my magnitude 5 skies. |

PhotographerPeter W. O'BrienLocationDerry NHDateNov 30/Dec 1 2007EquipmentDSI II behind homebuilt6" f1.8 astrograph piggyback on 10"LX200RDescriptionThese two images were taken 4hours apart. The camera was tilted 41deg off N/S alignment so that the relative 1.9arcmin motion of the comet is horizontal to the viewer. Very little processing was used, save for increase saturation to highlight the subtle color shift of the inner comet. Whether a mysterious color diffraction/separation similar to that seen sometimes with the rings of Saturn or possibly a “cometbow” an interesting fact to consider is that the comet is very close to being opposite the sun. More than likely I’m just nuts but it makes a cool 3D picture |

PhotographerRichard McCoyLocationMead, ColoradoDate11/28/2007EquipmentTakahashi FSQ-106ED and SBIG ST-2000XMDescriptionI snapped this image of Holmes before moon rise on the evening of 11/28/2007. The comet has grown in size to the point where it fills the FOV of my imaging system. This has been a fun comet to watch and image. |
