PhotographerJohn KielkopfLocationMoore Observatory, Brownsboro, KYDate01:04:49 2007-10-29 UTEquipmentPlanewave Instruments 20-inch Corrected Dall Kirkham SBIG STL6303 unfiltered 8 secondsDescriptionThe spherical dusty coma of erupting Comet 17P/Holmes nearly fills the 11.5x8.6 arcminute field of view. The nucleus is the brightest star-like object in the image. A secondary bright and also spherical region is SW of the nucleus. The two stars below the nucleus are 10.89 and 9.25 magnitude. To the unaided eye at the time this image was taken Holmes appeared to be about 3rd magnitude. |

PhotographerTodd S. Deerfield AstronomyLocationMason, OhioDateOctober 28th, 2007 16:49UTCEquipmentThis is a "simple image" (no processing other than resizing for this post) taken using a Canon Digital Rebel 300D mounted at primary focus on a Celestron 6” achromatic refractor operating at f8, ISO of 100 with an exposure time of 30 seconds saving it directly in jpeg format on the camera. This was a single test shot for framing purposes but it turned out pretty darn good. |

PhotographerGreg CranwellLocationTucson, ArizonaDate10/28/07EquipmentMeade LXD 75 10" Schmidt Newtonian with Canon 1DS Mark II and Televue Powrmate 4x barlowDescriptionI believe this is a possible breakup of Comet Holmes. This is a photo wich seems to show more than one come in the central region of Comet Holmes (two main bright pieces and one smaller). My guess is that if this is the photo of a comet breakup, that might explain why the comet got so bright "unexplainebly" and then started to dim tonight. On October 26, 2007 at about 8:00 PM PST my exposure was 15 seconds at f/4 and 200 ISO and one bright single coma. Tonight (October 28) at the same time with darker skies (no moon) my exposure was 45 seconds at ISO 800 !!! No clouds and no moon, but 2 bright centers and a dimmer one all within the center region. |
