Holmes 7/11

Hi all,

Just about managed one thin capture last night before the clouds arrived so no LRGB... it certainly is getting more diffuse now. Its going to be challenging to image when it grows to its full extent...

very nice result, Stefan.

Nice work, Stefan - it is certainly getting lopsided. Holmes now seems to be settled into the sights of large CCD cameras.

best wishes,
Alan

That's Nice Stefan . I think the original image will have some details as even this I can see little tail formation or I am imagining :S .

It looks a lot like my image from last night. I tried to catch the tail, but the local light pollution won out 8v)

Thanks very much all!

Ansuman - I think what is just about visible in this image is the jet in the coma, the tail itself is further outside to the right, see these images for some amazing examples - http://spaceweather.com/comets/gallery_holmes_page8.htm


and from last night...
