Comet Boattini by Bob Christmas

Here's an excerpt of an image of Comet Boattini, in Hydra, that I took at Spectacle Lake on Sunday, May 4, 2008. Equipment: Canon Digital Rebel 300D, Tamron 300mm lens at f/2.8, Super-Polaris equatorial mount. Exposure: 130 seconds.

More, and larger, images coming from my Spectacle Lake trip soon...

Whoa Bob, that is either one bright comet or one awesome lens. 300mm f2.8!!!! (drooling)
Anyway, the image looks fantastic. Finally another interesting target in the sky. See you at the meeting on Friday... and hope to see some of your new prints.

Excellent shot Bob. I guess we can excuse you from the get together this past Sun. Doesn't look like you needed any help. Well done.

Didn't realize we had such an interesting visitor in the area. I've got to start paying more attention to these types of things.
