RE: [APML] OT: Visual on NEAT

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@astro-photography.com>]

Hello Joe,
Thanks so much.  That is exactly what we needed and that is very nice.
Can we enter the world of speculation?  What would be the expectations
on the tail?  How long and when would it be expected to be the longest?
Thanks for any help on this.

Best regards,

Jeff,
I managed to get a 4 minute exposure at f/6.8 and iso 800 last night 
before the comet disappeared into the summer time haze.  A 36x48 minute 
view is at:

It was quite impressive through a 24 inch dob, but the tail isn't very 
long yet.
Joe
