C/2007 N3 Lulin March 17

The seeing and transparency were good tonight so I had another look and did another sketch of this comet. Far more detail was seen in the extensions of the tails.

This is how I saw it using my f/8 6 inch dob at 30x magnification with an approximately 2º TFOV. The bright star to the NE of the comet (bottom of the sketch) is Delta Gem, the star that is the waist of Pollux.
