Re: [APML] Comet NEAT and M44 with the 9" Schmidt camera

Sweet tail.

Provia did a great job recording the blue ion part. Hope mine show it as well!

It was clear this evening here in MA and I got my first view of the comet since last week. Its still a very nice comet in the 10x50's with a tail about 3 degrees, easily naked eye.....my sky is around mag 5.6 tonight.

Hi all, This is a shot of Comet NEAT on the 14th, unfortunately here in Arizona we have been plagued with

clouds. I was able to get 2 shots in before it was completely blocked out, this was shot through the leading

edge of the cloudbank. The shot is 10 minutes with the 6cm x 6cm film holder giving a field of view of 6 degrees

square. The film is cut 4x5 Provia100 film pushed 1 stop. The guiding was done on the comet's nucleus.

It came out fairly well considering the haze. Enjoy!
