Re: [APML] Image: Comet Ikeya-Zhang

Hi Mike:
Thanks for the kudos! My FOV for the CCD camera (Meade 416, same chip as
SBIG ST-7) is 41x24 arcmin using the 0.75 reducer on the A-P. So I figure my
CCD  mosaic captured much less than the full length of the tail. I can see
the tail on the film version extending at least 1.8 degrees and the CCD
mosaic covers at most 1.25 degrees edge to edge.  And Jeff's and others'
shots have shown quite a bit more.  Have to go back and try again!
