Comet Machholz - (C2004 Q2)
— January 10 2005 —


Machholz 10 Jan 05

Machholz is just about to cross over from Taurus into Aries. He'll only be there for two nights, (skimming the corner of Aries) then into Perseus.

This time I used film, not digital.
The camera was piggy-backed on the telescope (120mm f/8 refractor) which was guided for the exposure.
The lens was a 300mm f/5.5 (wide open).
Film was Kodacolor 400ASA.
Scanned at 2400dpi and processed as usual.

Don't get excited if you discover something new in this image.
Its probably dust.
