Object Information :
 
C/2007 N3 Lulin shown above is a comet that was photographed in Virgo on the 12th February 2009 at 03:07am in Ha and 04:57am in OIII. Taken with filters as it was late and I would have had to refocus after manually changing them. The field of view is 94 x 71 arcmins.

The 3rd photo was taken on the 28th February at a mean time of 22:04 with the 16". You can see that the comet pretty much fills the field of view of 10 x 8 arcmins.
