Comet Images from the Dark Sky Of Chile

Below you can find a selection of some of the comets we imaged in the last few days using remotely a Planewave Telescope CDK24 a 0.61-m f/6.5 reflector + CCD located in the El Sauce Observatory in Chile. The telescope is owned by "TELESCOPE LIVE" network and we would like to thank them for allowing us to use their telescope for these images free of charge. Click on each image for a bigger version.

Prompted by an alert of A. Diepvens on comet-images mailing list, on January 03 we perfomed some follow-up of C/2010 G2 (Hill); we confirm that this comet was experiencing a bright phase. Co-adding of 9 unfiltered exposures, 15 seconds each, obtained remotely from the Siding Spring-Faulkes Telescope South on 2012, January 03.46 through a 2.0-m f/10.0 Ritchey-Chretien + CCD  reveals the comet as a bright featureless star-like object of magnitude 13.2 N
