Guest zidder Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 And did it live up to your expectations Gary? I didn't know what to expect Mick, What I saw was a central bright spot ( bright in inverted commas) surrounded by defused area, didn't get any tail. Didn't really matter what it was like, I have seen something that once it has gone no will see for 800 years (nearly no one) Kit used 20mm eye piece with 2x barlow. Took me a while to get it, was a lot further right of aldebaran then I first thought, but good old Andy sorted me with his chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I saw it on Saturday in 15x70 bins. It showed a hint of a tail but it could have been wishful thinking. It was already quite low in the sky when it cleared. I had a scout round the sky with my bins but decided not to snap it, as I had 2 photos already and didn't think they would be better than the ones I'd already done. It is a shame that the weather hasn't been co-operative. Here's my shot from 16th (remember I don't have a mount that can guide for hours on end): http://s197.photobucket.com/user/PhillipPugh/media/Comets/CometLovejoy2011W3Y15JanD16_zps01f0169f.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
