On the evening of Mar 14/09 Comet Lulin made a passby of another prominent DSO, NGC 2392 the Eskimo Nebula. Despite poor observing conditions I was lucky enough to get a clear spell long enough to make an observation.

This is how I saw things using my f/8 6 inch dobsonian. I made two sketches. The first was at 30X magnification giving an approximate TFOV of 2º. The second sketch was at 100X and an approximate TFOV of 0.9º.

The comet is past its prime but it is still putting on a bit of a show. The structure has changed somewhat, with that long thin tail being replaced with more of a fan.
