I have imaged a much dimmer comet than the currently bright C/2002 T7 LINEAR. My images of 43P Wolf-Harrington are found at
http://home.att.net/~dpersyk/new.htm

Max Wolf (Königstuhl Observatory, Heidelberg, Germany) discovered this comet photographically in December, 1924. The P designates a periodic, or reoccurring, comet. It returns every 6.46 years. Comet 43P Wolf-Harrington is currently in Pegasus at magnitude 12.5

Clear skies,

Great stuff Dennis.

You have taken some excellent comet images. Could you actually see this one visually? or did you use the surrounding stars to orient your camera? Your recent images and animations of C/2002 T7 Linear are really spectacular.

Keep posting.
