Lovejoy this morning!   Message List  
Reply Message #18939 of 19629 |

Hi all,

I observed Lovejoy this morning from Woolbrook, NSW, i am so excited, at 4am
AEDST i took an image of the Eastern horizon and upon looking at the image i
noticed a thin "search beam" like extension pointing up from the SE, tilted a
little to the North. I looked with my naked eye and saw what appeared to be
headlights of a car near my horizon but it didn't seems to move, long story
short....the tail i measured over the next 50 mins was nearly 15 degrees long
and in moonlight!
Clouds not long intervened at dawn and i tried for the comet head but saw
nothing in my 10" dob.

Images to follow!

Cheers,
Chris Wyatt
Walcha, NSW
Australia
