2P/Encke Images

I have posted images of 2P/Encke taken at 0030 UT on Nov 25 with my 4-inch refractor at
http://home.att.net/~dpersyk/new.htm

I have included a fast download movie encompassing 24 minutes of tracking. There is also a simulated “eyepiece” view through my 11-inch SCT at 64X magnification. VLM was about 3.0 last night, typical for me. When you see my eyepiece view you will understand why I prefer imaging.

Comments and suggestions most welcome.

Clear skies,

Great images Dennis.

I really liked the movie showing the comet's movement.

Great stuff.
