Comet 8P/Tuttle with M 33
On the night of Dec. 30, 2007 at 1945hrs PST (UT 0345 Dec 31) The brighening comet, 8P/Tuttle passed by the bright galaxy M 33. This is how I saw it using my f/8, 6 inch dob with a 40mm widefield eyepiece at 30X magnification. The FOV is approximately 2 degrees. I was observing from my semi rural backyard in Metchosin, B.C. SQM reading was 21.0. This is the sketch in combination with an inversion done with Photoshop
