Default Light Cup phoned Holmes

I haven't been able to see the comet again since the 24th due foul
smokes and then bad weather . Scattered and passing clouds tonight. So I thought I'd quickly setup my 4-inch TV-102 for a quick look. Well, there seemed to be less clouds after a while and the comet has gotten a heck of a lot bigger. So I grab my DSLR and shot a few pics.

Enjoy,
Ron B[ee]

VERY well done!! I too have had nothing but cloudy skies here and now we are expecting a strong tropical storm/small hurricane!!

Hey, maybe the lights will go out like we had during Hurricane Wilma??

Great capture of the comet, are you located in SD county as I've had beautiful sunsets but smoking skies here in Vista.

hi Ron,

I like your humor! (-:

the idea displaying the star mags is great, as the image is.
