Tonight is going to feature quite a sight: Comet Garradd and the Coathanger cluster. Tonight and tonight only, the comet will be right at the tip of the Coathanger's hook, a perfect photo-op for any astrophotographer with a short to medium length scope or even a long telephoto camera lens.
Here's a map of where things are going to be tonight:
And here's a quickie picture from last week when the comet was right by the M71 globular cluster in Saggita. A better one is on the way, but I haven't had time to process the RAW files yet.
Good luck and clear skies to all!
Humble requests:
If you found this informative (or at least entertaining), help me pay my bills and check out my Examiner pages for space news, cleveland photography, national photography, and astronomy for more great stuff.
If you think this was cool, why not tell a friend?
