In march 2009 I made 64 pictures each 90 sec. long of comet Lulin. This is an animation made of this few pictures.
Comet Lulin graced North American skies in the winter of 2009. Fortunately, the closest approach was during the Winter Star Party in February. Comet Lulin proved to be much more interesting than I had previously been inclined to believe. The comet brightened dramatically over the week of February 24 and sported a beautiful ion blue tail. I slewed to the comet with the scope and began my initial exposures and was surprised by the views on the LCD screen. The blue ion tail was crumpled and extending away from the comet nucleus in a beautiful fashion. So this object became the main target object during the 2-4 am imaging window on most nights. This video is a time-lapse sequence of 9 3.5 minute exposures taken on February 21, 2009 from the Winter Star Party in the Florida Keys. Each image was optimized in Adobe Light Room and the video was compiled with Windows Movie Maker. The video loops several times so that the viewer can pick up the subtle changes in the blue ion tail. Geostationary satellites are common in this area of sky and pass through the field as through they were moving airplanes, but in fact it is the telescope and camera moving to compensate for the Earth's rotation.

This video covers the very close transit of a brand new type of comet that is not designated from any class or family. Not much is known about the size of this object though it seems to be rather large . It also has come in much like comet lulin Looking at the COR1 data it looks as if this actually skimmed along the outer Corona of the Sun. A very close call While all the planets and most of the other objects in the solar system circle the sun counterclockwise, Just as before with comet ...

Dave D'Onofrio, one of the WAS's star astrophotographers, contributes these shots of Comet Lulin. This comet was really moving when it passed by the Earth! He took the photos, one minute each, on Feb 28, 2009 from Dearborn Heights using his 12" LX200 at f6.3 and a ST2000 camera. They're played back first fast, then slower. Consider this a teaser for a longer video that shows the comet moving even farther - it will be up soon. (Music: A Comet Appears by the Shins) ...

Saturday (28-2-09) night me and my friend Thodoris Giaourtsis went to Chalkidiki (Hellas) to observe comet Lulin. What drew our attention was the velocity of the comet that is clearly shown in this video. Each frame is a 3 minute exposure on a Canon 350D with the IR filter modification. The optics for the image is an FS60C Takahashi refractor with the field flatener. Constantinos Emmanouilidis
