Comet Lulin February 28
Not much more to say except I wish comets like this one came around more often.
It’s high, and very photogenic. Just what the space doctor ordered! Above image was made February 28. with a Nikon D70 on a 4 inch refractor. Six minute un-guided exposure.
ISO 400
dark frame subtracted-plus some tweaks in PS. There’s a tiny galaxy in the tail of the comet.
