Comet Lulin


This shot had the .5 focal reducer on the AT-66mm, which brought it to F3.0. We took 30 second shot while guiding on head of the comet. The image was stacked aligning on the comet's head. The star trails are how far the comet moved in the field of view (65.6 x 84.8 arc minutes) in  1.5 hours.
