 Penserjoch (2200m osl) South Tirol/Italy

 Not yet visible with naked eye! (ca. 3.9 mag*)

  

Left: Canon 200mm f3.2, Sony a63;    Right: The comet only 3,0 degrees over horizon. Newton 900mm f4.5,Sony a73   

Clear sky in direction Pfunderer Alps belonging to the Zillertal.

Because of the dusty layers in the flat plains I have to move up to 2200m osl. The seeing in direction 'Wilde Kreuzspitze' was really good but it was a hard work

 to catch the comet only a few degrees over horizon (lowest 3.0°).

 Very good conditions up to 12° over the horizon even near Munich allowed these images of the comet to be taken.

*mag  = > light magnitude: Up to mag +3 or +4 stars are visible nearby cities with the naked eye, in very dark areas the seeing limit can reach up to mag +6.

The more higher numerical value is given, the more weaker are the objects. E.g. - 4,7 mag, Venus glittering; - 1,0 Sirius, brightest star; + 3,5 M31 Andromeda, pale shiny oval)


All comet observations from 2001 up to now ..
