Comet Lulin

On April 14, 2010, in Comet, Gallery, Widefield, by Danny

Comet Lulin in March 2009 is just visible in this light polluted, widefield shot with the Canon EOS350mDSLR, 30 second exposure at ISO1600 and 18mm lens.

Right – EOS350 at the prime focus of the WO66SD and focal reducer. Unguided 20 sec frame to bring out the comet.

This was Lulin almost at closest approach and it never got to be a naked eye object as expected.
