Comet 8P Tuttle - Co-object photo opportunities
I have assembled a chart and table concerning next months comet -
Comet 8P Tuttle at - http://www.utahastronomy.com/Current...ject_photo_ops As Comet 8P loops through Cass, And, Tri and Psc from mid-December to maximum brightness in the first week of January 2008, the comet will pass a number of other objects - creating opportunities for take dramatic astrophotos. For example, the comet will pass within 1 deg of PN NGC40, directly over galaxy M33, and within 2 degs of galaxy M74. Unlike November's Comet 17P, Comet 8P will present with a Sun-Target- Observer angle between 47 and 70 degrees. (Comet 17P presented as only 12.9 degs.) Earth based observers will be well-placed to see any tail, if it forms. Comet 8P 3D orbital diagrams - generated from the NASA/JPL Near Earth Object orbital diagram simulator - are collected at: http://www.utahastronomy.com/Current...P_orbital_path - Canopus56 |
