Comet Holmes Near the Star Mirfak
It was another chilly night in Victoria but the skies were clear. A thin veil of cloud threatened to rise from the east but it stayed clear for my imaging session. The comet was now past Mirfak but still within the field of view of the NP101is. I've been imaging with the Fuji S2 ever since the image of the comet exceeded the chip size of the Meade DSI Pro. The comet was also noticeably dimmer.
