C/2011 W3 - Dec 17.06 - Photographic daylight success   Message List  
Reply Message #18801 of 19448 |
C/2011 W3 photographed at dawn

Hi all,

after a little fight with the telescope unwilling to observe in broad daylight,
I managed the snap a couple of pictures. Here is an ugly preview, we definitely
need to clean the optics, but the telescope is ... remote.

clear! It is only ap itty that it is cloudy here in Europe.
