Comet Lulin (C/2007 N3)
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
Look just below the N3 in the image above.
Image made with Nikon D70 on tripod and 24-85mm lens for 2 minutes at ISO 1000. It’s grainy, but shows a slight teal color and makes it easy to pick out of the stellar field at the top of Scorpius. And it looks a bit better in person than this image portrays. It was a blobby patch of diffuse light this morning, so I’m hoping it brightens and gives us something really cool to observe once the Moon wanes a bit more.
