Comet Holmes now sporting small jet and tail
Hi All,
Here is a shot of Holmes from my backyard Observatory last night in the City of Dayton, Ohio using my 10" SCT......unfortunately clouds were pretty solid, but small 10 second breaks allowed me to take this shot......its a 30 second exposure, ;literally through the clouds.....but it diminished the comets brightness enough for me to see the emerging jet coming of the nucleus.
I'll try again tonight with my 16" scope at my observatotries in Yellow Springs,
I should be able to make out more detail with the 16".
Just hope the skies stay clear for a while!
