Alright, this is for sharing of your observation experience. Or, if you are arranging gatherings, star-gazing expeditions or just want some company to go observing together, you can shout it out here.
Hey tks for all the comments! And the info on the free photos site.
Here are 3 photos of the comet which I took early this morning. Each about 5-10 seconds exposure on ISO 800 or 1600. LX-90 8" SCT f/10.
They are quite poor actually, and nothing like the ones found elsewhere on the internet. I don't have a proper German mount, so was limited to about 10 seconds exposure. Am sure others on Singastro will have much better ones soon.
Anyway, the motion of the comet is very apparent. The first and last photos were taken 1 hr 3 mins apart.
