Gallery: Tempel 1 (2004-2005)

Observation made by Gunther Fleerackers

Image Parameter Details
Comments: Several days before I had tried to find tempel but I did not succeed. On monday July 6th I finally succeeded to see Tempel after a search of 2 hours. Due to the light pollution of the city Zoutleeuw it was a very diffecult job. No tail was visible and the coma was about 2' with DC 4, a diffuse coma with a visible center. I could get a proper estimation of the magnitude of the comet.
