Re: [APML] comet blues



Last night it finally cleared up, there was the comet way up high in the sky... but... either the seeing was so bad that the stellar nucleus was a blob or the comet has faded to the point that it ain't there (stellar nucleus)... at any rate, even with a telecompressor lens in front of the ST-4, it wouldn't pick up the comet...  you guys with the Schmidt cameras have a huge advantage over the refractor guys... I guess I could give it one last try tonight using the STV... at least with that I know it's on the comet and not some neighboring star.
