Re: [APML] Mercury and Comet Utsunomya

Hi!

great shot Chris!

30sec exposure! I have no experience with Schmidt Cameras - hence my curiosity: Do you have to take special precautions for
film-loading in twilight? What do you use as a shutter? The dustcap of the objective lens?

The comet looks as though it has two broad tails- which one is  the ion- and which the dusttail?

For me it was only clouds and/or work for the last two weeks...

Gerald Rhemann of Vienna has done a picture of the same subject (and then some more):

here the comet alone:

here a nice animation of moving clouds and comet:

here an Image of Ikeya Zhang and Snyder-Murakami

with Snyder-Murakami highlighted:

I posted the direct links to the images, because the information about the pictures is on other pages than the images themself, but
you can track down the information easily by entering the site from: http://www.astrostudio.at
