Copyright

My lack of any formal statement on these pages has caused some confusion about the ownership and use of the images on these pages. All images on this page are copyright Robert H. McNaught. They can be freely used at the resolution given here on any web site, presentation or educational publication that is non-commercial, provided that appropriate credit is given. It is requested however that no more than three images be used, otherwise a link should be given to this page. These images were obtained by Rob McNaught with his own equipment in his own time and are not the property of the ANU. There have been so many requests for high resolution copies of these images that I ask that all enquiries for these to go directly to Science Photo Library.

Viewing the comet's tail with the naked eye at the time of the above image, the appearance was very strongly that of de Cheseaux's wookcut of the 1744 comet, long believed to have had six separate tails. Even the circumstances of the observation were similar to de Cheseaux's, but in the case of P1, we know these are not separate tails but structures within a single dust tail (be these structures synchrones or striae). This presumably is the explanation of de Cheseaux's drawing.

Note that the camera mount has been moved from yesterday, so the grass tree is in a different azimuth. However the images cover the same angular field of view on the sky as yesterday, so it is clear how the tail has enlarged in 24 hours. All images on this page are uncropped.

Widespread cloud. Not practical to drive to clear skies.

2007 Jan 22

Cloud at SSO required a dash to the west and then south to escape encroaching cloud. Ended up near Dubbo with the lights of Narromine to the right of the setting comet.

Cloud at SSO, so headed south eventually setting up about 40km SW of Dubbo.
