	Duration: 30 seconds Upload Time: 06-10-26 18:44:14 User: 06solareclipse :::: Favorites
Description: Currently (Oct/27/2006) there is a comet visible in the evening sky. Comet SWAN has a sinuous tail as long as three full Moons. It is best seen using binoculars. I captured the comet using a Watec 120N CCD camera and f0.95/50mm lens.

06solareclipse ::: Favorites The comet is the object with the long tail. The tail spans about half the image height and is visible in all the video. If you look carefully you can see the comet moving in respect to the stars. 06-10-29 07:33:56 _____________________________________________________

FantasyMan ::: Favorites If you knew what a comet was, then you'd know that it's the fuzzy light with a large tail that appears not to move at all. 06-12-16 07:33:32 _____________________________________________________
