HI all,
Last night the sky was clear and transparent, and also
was the night of closest approach of the now large and
dim Comet Holmes with the large and exciting nebula,
NGC1499 - the California Nebula. the pair was imaged
with my Stellarvue SV80s refractor, a .8x focal
reducer and the modified Canon XTi DSLR. Two sets of
frames were needed to produce this panorama, which
covers the pair well:

I hope you have the chance to photograph or see
visually this unique pairing which will be now moving
off for the next few days.
Comments?
Chris
