[hateutoo100]

ladies and gents, comets tails aren't dust and ice, it is an electrical charge, or a plasma charge.

How do you know it´s a comet?

[nsajja]

By Blue trail of dust and the direction of South West. It appeared for almost 3 weeks and visible to naked eye. But 24th Feb 2009 it was closest to earth. They predict this comet to come back into our solar system after 1 million years. 2009 is the year Astronomical Year.

@nsajja hey, they say that the comet will become small and smaller before it reaches the surface of the earth right?.

it looks really good. I tried to get a few pictures of it but its not showing up very well

[nsajja]

No we have street lights infront of house. But i used zoom.

[DjHardJ]

I can see it really good in elgin county

[nsajja]

I think you can watch it for few more days. This comet may not come back again and may exit our solar system deep into the space. The bluish tint is amazing.

FUCKING BULLSHIT GOD DAMN!!!!

today is the 24 th. it´s the FIRST comet i´m able to see with my 19 years, and now?

clouds all over germany!!!

oh shit.

can i watch it in in 3-4 day´s with the naked eye too???? cause the weather here......

[nsajja]

Here in Toronto also it is bit cloudy today. But i think you can watch it few days more.

[vongermandutch]

thx 4 reply, but do you think with the naked eye???

cause i don´t have a telescope.

i only got a camcorder.

[VanillaWaffles]

What equipment are you using to do that? It is nice as a first video feed... but really aweful for the imaging and shooting... Sorry.

[nsajja]

Simple Sony family Camera. Shot this film outside my house. Did not use tripod so it was shaky a bit as the camera is very small to hold in hand. But the bluish comet is amazing even with naked eye. I love space, my eyes are always up.

[VanillaWaffles]

Nevetheless, it is very nice of you do filem it up. I have a Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope as well as a 12 X60 Binoculars ready for the comet, but skies over my area is super cloudy.

So sad for my part. But hope that many more skywatchers may get to see it.

Clear skies! =)

[nsajja]

I think you can still watch it and film it few more days. I am posting some pictures of it. close up shots. Watch. Thank you.
