[BAA Comets] 2013 US10

[Mel Joslin]

Well done Nick and Peter. It is exciting to see the first images of this comet from the British Isles. Have got my scotch mount up and running
and hope to get some images from Chelmsford as well. Must have missed that clear period but I am hoping not to miss the next one. Must
remember to take my gloves with me.

Mel

I know - I'm feeling gutted now! Andrew

Andrew - I think you may have missed your opportunity for a while. The morning forecast for the east doesn't look good for the next few days.
It's definitely worth going after though.

Nick.


> Nice one Nick,
> I decided to find a darkish spot near the SE Essex marshes and image comet 2013US10 Catalina.( see link below)  My 200mm telephoto lens and a stack of 16 x 10 second exposures recorded the dust and gas tails. The image at 05.52hrs UT was squeezed in at the start of astronomical twilight but before the sky brightened too much. The comet was only 5 degrees above the horizon at the time of the image.
