In case some don't know about it, Comet 168P is putting up a quiet show and is between 10th and 11th mag. Nice small comet with a nice small tail, rather pretty. Here is the S&T article. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/highlights/Comet-Hergenrother-Puts-... Check it out if you have time.
Thanks for the tip. I was working that part of the sky anyway so I paused my project and got a quick shot of the comet. Cute little thing. Bright nucleus and, like you said, a tiny tail. I only wish I had Tyler's image processing skills so I could have come up with an image worth posting. And now back to my regularly scheduled program. :) patrick On 07 Oct 2012, at 01:41, Jay Eads wrote:
