Title: Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner
Post by: MarkS on Sep 10, 2018, 10:07:09
Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner taken at Astrofarm in France on Saturday night.
5 subs of 30sec quickly stacked on my laptop.  As usual, H-alpha modified Sony A7S on Tak Epsilon 180ED.
M36 is top right and a few Sharpless objects on the left e.g. Sh2-235

The comet is easily visible in binoculars now.

Thanks mark ~ a really great picture.

There is something about these 'space wanderers' which is enchanting.

Best

Looking at this at home on my monitors it appears to have an overall green cast - I need to fix this ...
