I went out again last night/this morning after work to grab a few pictures of Lulin since the "Sucker hole" seemed to occupy most of the sky so around 1:45am I set up my compact digital camera on the tripod and took about 10 shots at various zoom levels- the results were less than impressive nothing worth posting but it was interesting to note how far the comet had moved since my last look on tuesday morning. This time I only used 7x35 binos to find the comet, still quite visible even with the smaller aperture, I would say that this time in the smaller binos it really did look like M-13. it's elongated appearance I noticed in the 15x70s was not apparent in the 7x35s.
