I can say this
comet is just extra amazing. This is very big, bright and
beautiful. I found and captured image easily with much light
pollution, in Tehran city. I captured these image with Canon
EOS 20D, EQ6 mount and Meade
8" Telescope and edited with Photoshop CS2, also I took
nebula-broadband filter for better resolution. You can see
this comet with the naked-eye when the great moon in the
sky. |

Holy smoke! This is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Reminiscent of Comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock back in '83, yet strangely different. I wonder what it will do next?
All images made with a Fuji FinePix S2 digital camera at ISO 400.
#1 with 54 mm lens at f4, 64 sec exposure, 12:16 AM MDT
#2 with 300 mm lens at f4, 62 sec exposure, 12:25 AM MDT

These images
were made with a Canon
300D at ISO 200 on a 12"
LX200. The left side is a 1-sec exposure and shows the
sunlight illuminated central coma, very much as it appeared
visually. The right side is a 5-min exposure that shows
the glowing ionized gas in the outer coma. |

I was able to observe this comet at 2:00am, it has no visible tail but with a near full moon I didn't expect to see one. It is planet like with a yellowish colour, a very easy naked eye object to view even with strong moon light. It was a beautiful sight from tropical North Queensland. I snapped the attached photo with my Nikon coolpix 4500.

After our regular astronomy meeting, members of our club went to our Laval Observatory to see this comet. Fantastic event... WOW ! Easy to target.

Between
11 PM when I went to bed and 4 am when I got up the comet
seemed to have grown by about 25%. Imaged with a Stellarvue
SV115 APO refractor and SBIG ST-10XME CCD Camera. 40 image
each LRGB of 1.5 seconds each. |

In
my 92mm refractor, 17P/Holmes has the look of a planetary
nebula. In my 10" its core and coma are easily seen. It
shows a golden color - like polished bronze. |
