Re: Comet Wild 81/P
G14 19 Mar 2010 10:30 UTC. 4 x 300 sec luminance.
RA 14:12:28.1 Dec -06:40:16. Apar. mag 7.78
As I like to do time lapse images of celestial movers, thought it was just the right time to revisit Wild 81P. A set of 4 images daily (weather permitting*) for the next few days, I may go weekly after that until mid June. All will hopefully become apparent when the project is finished. Suffice to say we'll see a bit of celestial acrobatics! ;)
And a close-up view....
and as promised animated (10:30 - 11:00 UTC)
*[sup]That may well have put the kaibosh on things[/sup]

[sub][Ed. - what was I saying? This is the all-sky image for March 20. Kaiboshed indeed...
