Another image of Comet Holmes 17p taken on 8th November.
This time I used 30s exposures with the Canon 350D and 200mm lens. Stars are streaking and there is movement from the Comet, but a nice image!
Comet Holmes has grown in size, but has become more diffuse. It can be seen easily with the naked eye but I also had a look with the Skywatcher 130...WoW! It is enormous...the Comet completely filled the FOV with a 17mm eyepiece. This is the biggest Comet since Halley-Bopp back in 1997!
