PhotographerMircea RadutiuLocationBucharest, RomaniaDate13 Nov 2007EquipmentNikon D40 + Nikkor 55-200@200@f/8, 8x30 sec. ISO800, first batch of processing from that night.DescriptionComet Holmes from downtown Bucharest. Light pollution gives the orange-redish tint of the black sky, and although the image is heavily processed to make it closer to the real sky colors, the urban light pollution takes its toll. Too bad. We all have to do something about this, it's our money wasted on lighting up the sky... Clear skies to all. |

PhotographerMelissa HulbertLocationMudgee, NSW, AustraliaDate10th Nov 2007 at 12:17am ADSTEquipmentCanon 20D on a tripod with 85mm lens. f/5.6, ISO 1600, 30sec exposure.DescriptionIt had been cloudy and raining all night and a group of us were going to call it a night when the clouds parted low on the north horizon and there was Comet Holmes. Binoculars and the camera revealed a yellowish fuzzy ball with an estimated magnitude of 2.5-3.0. The stars have trailed as a shorter exposure would not have revealed the comet very well due to some lingering cloud. It is one of the most interesting comets I've seen (and photographed). Well worth the 3.5 hour drive from Sydney! |

The inner coma shows its intriguing details, while the image processing was not pushed too much, to preserve a natural view. |

PhotographerIan GorensteinLocationAcross Hudson River from NYCDateNov-11-07EquipmentCelestron NS11GPS with Hyperstar attachment working at f/1.85. SAC-10 unguided Alt-Az.DescriptionComparing to the images taken a few days ago now the Comet shows definite elongation of the coma. There's a breakup inside the central region clearly visible. Overall the comet seems to loose brightness but increasing in size. Certainly looks like an extended object to the naked eye even at my light-polluted location. |
