Posted in Astrophotography with tags alfa Virgo, Comet, Lulin, Spica on 2009/02/15 by computerphysicslabIt has not been easy to get a shot of Lulin Comet from the light polluted city I live in. Lulin is not a bright comet. I couldn’t observe it with naked eye. It was only visible through the Vixen 12×80 binoculars. Here we see Lulin near Spica, alfa Virgo. The Moon appears to make harder to get a good contrast.
