m1=11.4 Dia. 4' DC=4 20cm L 72x First observation. Comparison stars at same altitude as comet, so atmospheric extinction correction not applied. Sidgewick Method used. No sign of any tail at this point, but slight possible extension to the coma in P.A 130 degrees. Comet faint, but clearly visible with direct vision with this aperture. Looking forward to Deep Impact! |
