Hey Guys,

Comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner passed in front of M35 early this morning. Good thing I didn't listen to my weather radio that was reporting cloudy skies at all stations. I got out around 4:30 am to partly cloudy skies. But, as I waited, I was blessed with clear skies in the area to my east around 5:30 am. That gave me about 45 min. before the beginning of twilight.
This image is a combination of two 45 sec. I had to skew the comet to one side because I wanted to include the smaller open cluster NGC 2158 that appears to the upper right of the image, which barely fit in my cameras' 41 X 28 min. FOV.

Hey Guys,

Comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner passed in front of M35 early this morning.  Good thing I didn't listen to my weather radio that was reporting cloudy skies at all stations.  I got out around 4:30 am to partly cloudy skies. But, as I waited, I was blessed with clear skies in the area to my east around 5:30 am. That gave me about 45 min. before the beginning of twilight.
This image is a combination of two 45 sec.  I had to skew the comet to one side because I wanted to include the smaller open cluster NGC 2158 that appears to the upper right of the image, which barely fit in my cameras' 41 X 28 min. FOV.

Hey Guys,

This image is a combination of two 45 sec. I had to skew the comet to one side because I wanted to include the smaller open cluster NGC 2158 that appears to the upper right of the image, which barely fit in my cameras' 41 X 28 min. FOV.
