Comet Lulin is making its approach to double star Zubenelgenubi. It also appears that Comet Lulin has regrown its ion tail after the disconnect from yesterday. Equipment used included a Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II Camera Lens at f/2.8 and Canon XTi piggybacked on a C8. Exposure was 15x240 sec @ ISO 800.
