Comet Lulin

[Mystical Potato Head]

Not a spectacular one but a comet nonetheless,the faint tail is just visible.

Good photo MPH.

I agree, this comet isn't very spectacular, but probably the best we'll see for a while :~(.

I'm a bit disappointed with how my photo came out last night - the tail stood out much better when viewed through the eyepiece at Castletown Heritage Centre on Friday night.

Here's two astropics that came out much better than the one of the comet...
