Log - Comet Holmes - 25 Oct 2007
Hi All
25/10/2007 @ 11:00 PM
I looked at the comet and today it was brighter than Delta Persei, almost as bright as Algol. My brightness estimate is 2.5 mag, anurag estimated 2.2-2.1 mag... But due MoonWashed sky estimation is tough....
I set up 4" and 25 mm eyepiece.....
WOW.....
Yesterday's star like comet becomes fuzzy ball, not just ball it was big almost 6-8 arc minutes.... with very bright core of 2 arc minutes and it is off center towards SW. And the color was light cream color like color of saturn.
See sketch...
The sketch is captured with mobile camera.
And Photos :
The photos taken with 4" F/10 Telescope and 25mm Eyepiece - Sony K750i Mobile - Afocal method. Images cropped and resized.
Hope comet grows more in size...
Do post your comments and Observation.
Happy Sky watching
