Default A REALLY NEAT CLOSE-UP OF COMET NEAT FROM KITT PEAK OBSERVATORY (STScI-NN040617)

Hey Billy

From AstroMart's Forum:

Here is an image of the core of the comet taken last night with the first
quarter Moon unfortunately washing out the background sky. The image was
taken with _MY_ 10" F14.6 mak-Cass operating at F10 with SBIG ST10XE camera
and color filter wheel. _I_was trying to capture any jet detail coming out
of the core. You can see a sunward jet which then turns to the right and
gets swept toward the back. Also, there is a distinct bow shock visible.

Why don't you take a picture of it with one of your cadillac scopes

and
post
it?

I did. It's on the Astromart forum as indicated in my previous post.

It just says "taken with an amateur telescope of 10" aperture". Says
nothing about you taking it.
