Title: Comet Holmes
Post by: laser_jock99 on October 30, 2007, 19:14:47

Anyone seen the latest bright comet to fly past earth? I looked out this evening and it's an easy naked object. Looks great in any binoculars and is also easily captured in a digital camera.

This was a 5 second exposure with a 200mm zoom lens.

Finder chart and more info.
