Default ASTRO: Comet Lulin

It's still too low for my seeing. Tried it a couple nights ago and
stars were huge blobs. Needs a smaller image scale than I have until it
gets higher. Must be in the gunk for your too though you are a couple
degrees south of me.

Looks like it is moving rather fast as well.

I got some clearing Saturday night so I went for it. There was some high
clouds drifting in and out...the kind you don't see until its on top of your
target. This was taken through a FS102 @ f/8 with a Canon modified XTi
@1600asa. Because of the clouds I went with 30sec subs with a total of 3
minutes of data. Not much data but therewas a lot of light pollution
reflected off the clouds.
