I
had been hoping the skies would clear on the evening of
March 12 to capture both Comet Lulin and Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann
in the same field of my FSQ106/STL11K setup. A bonus object
in the field is the star cluster NGC2420 just above Comet
Lulin. North is up in this image. Exposure time centered
around March 13 2009 03:54UT. Imaged from Sierra Remote
Observatories, California. |

Comet
Lulin is now gliding away from it's close encounter with
the Earth and passing by the open cluster Herschel HI-6.
