Comet
Holmes is now very close to Mirphak, the birghtest star
of Perseus. Here in this wide view the comet is shown over
the 1600-year old fire temple of Niasar in Iran, used for
centuries by Zorostrians. |

Comet
Holmes meets Mirphak and makes a beautiful couple in the
sky. And Holmes is still bright in the sky, I photographed
the comet beside a windmill in the dusk, no astronomical
darkness. Orion 80ED @ 600mm f/7.5 and a Canon Digital Rebel
XT. |

Its
getting to the point were I'm having difficulty seeing the
comet with my naked eyes, but I still manage to photograph
it! This one was from last night using the Canon Rebel XT,
200mm lens with 1.7X Teleconverter, 800 ISO, 17.5 minute
exposure. The bright star is Mirfak (alpha Perseus) |

our trip to Hatta Deserts I took these images of the Holmes
comet. This is an amazing comet which one will never forget
and it is growing fast! |

I
hope can interest you, the movement of the comet is seen
within 4 days, while it is drawing near to the star Mirphak.
at the same time the increase of the diameter and the change
of aspect it is also noticed, becoming more and more evanescent.

The
expansion of 17P/ Holmes measures now 35 arcmin, and is
visual archiving more the the moon (30,5').The diameter
reaches up to 2,5 million kilometers. 17P/Holmes is dimming
(may 3,2 mag), but it is no problem to see the the expansion
wave with the naked eye. By using normal binoculars it is
together with the "Perseus star" Mirfak a real magic view.

Evidence
of a tail can still be seen near the core of Holmes. The
comet is fading a little in brightness but is now about
the size of the sun. I made this image on the early morning
of Nov 15 by combining several images made with a Canon
digital SLR and a 8 inch Celestron. |
