try again after it sets.

I managed to snag it a couple weeks back. This being Seattle, I'm hoping
for another chance any month now...

lol...I know how you feel....I've been waiting at least two weeks now
for a clear night.

Oh yeah...nice and clear. I tried to find it with my telescope but the
battery in the finder was dead. I couldn't home in on it without it.

Isn't that neat? I've been watching it since last week (when the
clouds part). I can pick it out easily now.

Well if you insist...also taken just after its first brightening with the
Canon cheap 70-300 hence the proliferation of blue bands around the
brightest stars. No longer visible to the unaided eye 40 km west of Calgary
Sunday morning (looking for meteors-space weather eh) but still quite nice
in my 15 x 70's.

Thanks for Both Shots. I've been watching Comet Homes 1 for several
weeks now. But I really liked the High Sirius Clouds you caught in the
second image.

Curious - What is a "Bynostar 130-900 Newton" ?

It's a Newtonian telescope (the one with the mirror in it). Has a diameter
of 130 mm (5.12 inch) and a focal length of 900 mm (35.43 inch). Conditions
that night were not really good, so photo is not that clear. But even though
it's a "cheap" telescope, I can make great shot's with it, see
http://astro.3dart4u.com/albums/user..._1023_full.jpg. It's a
high res shoot of the moon, mosaic made out of 40 seperate images.
