I've finally observed this striking comet from La Cañada, after a logarithmic scale process and stack of 20 images it shows what seems a blob of gas escaping...
Hello all ! Yesterday I shot Holmes with my Portaball Newton 12.5" at f5. Camera used was a Lumenera 075m. Interesting structures were recorded (wavelet...
Hi all, I havent noticed it mentioned here, could of missed it? was curious I seem to be seeing a planet like 'phase' in some deep images on the large outer...
Hi all, I haven't seen any attempt of visual observations of 8P/Tuttle lately. The comet should now begin to be observable visually. It should rise steeply ...
Hi Maik, I tried last night (3:50 UT Nov. 1) to spot it and succeeded .... just barely. I used a 37cm reflector at 286x and 351x and was able to detect a very...
Yesterday we observed 8P/Tuttle before Moonrise with a 20" Dobsonian 189x and 273x, was an easy object, very large, 1,3' diameter, 13,7 magnitude, very...
Dear Maik, I've measured 8P magnitude with a ccd on Oct 27 and I've found to be about 16, maybe quite too faint to observe visually. Regards, Lorenzo ... -- ...
Dear all, yesterday finally the weather cleared up and I've capured some images of the comet with my 30cm f/2.0 Schmidt Camera. As many others have noted, the...
I think the image here confirms the assertion that the "bright inner region" is, indeed, the dust tail....Don Pearce Here is a picture of Comet Holmes showing...
... What's astounding is that if we assume this is part of the ion tail, it would be four times longer if we were able to see it from the side. From such a...
Hi all, we observed 17P with the 60 cm telescope at Pic du Midi with narrow band filter. We realise a false color image : Blue = CN 3870 Å fwhm = 50 Å Green...
Comet 8P/Tuttle Comet 17P/Holmes is not the only comet in the sky! (Even though it is currently the brightest and most interesting) This comet also has the ...
The way I see it.... Look at the images from Pic du Midi. I think they are by far the best/most credible at showing what is going on in the inner region of the...

_Very_ nice image! It would be good if you could get a series of similar images so that motion in the tail structure could be measured. The explanation for...
I haven't been posting images here since the rules of the group were spelled out. But my recent image posted on spaceweather is color, and shows the tail as...
Thanks to all who have answered! It will be interesting to see whether 8P will attain 10 mag in the second half of November already. Cheers, Maik -- If they...
Hi everyone, The comet continues to get brighter and bigger. Tonight I visually estimated m1 = 2.3 (naked eye); with 12x50 binoculars I estimated the inner...
I agree that this comet seems to be manifesting properties unlike most other comets, and that it would be foolish to pretend that we understand everything...
Very impressive image! All three brightest tail streamers were detectable visually yesterday under exceptionally clear Bortle class 3 skies with NELM6.9...
Hi Maik, hi all. after having photographed the 17P, I have aimed the telescope at the 8P. using the filter R and the sw Astrometrica, I have measured an equal...
Hi all, Here is an animation on two days showing the evolution of dust stream in the inner coma. Here you can see details moving, so there are real. It is...
Rolando, ... it looks good. The visual magnitudes are slightly fainter than expected but this will surely change as soon as the comet will be observable with...
My recent image showing tails as reddish appears to have been a consequence of expanding the color range to bring out the structure. I imaged again last night...
Comet 17P Holmes UPDATE November 2 - Complete composite posting of all images since outburst: October 25 through November 2 from Arkansas Sky Observatory ...
Hi all 1/2.1107 19.30-20.00 / 22.00-23.30 BST The night began very cloudy and hopless for astronomy until I got a phone call from John Mc Connell informing me...
... Estimating the comet's magnitude was more problematic. Telescopes and binoculars could not be used due to aperture effect so the naked eye was the best and...
John, thank you for your well appreciated information on appropriate mag estimate techniques. What do you think about defocusing the star images by looking at...
