Saturn and Comet Lulin was created by Keith g
Hi all, a bit of a rough effort here, but the low cloud has been flying over me all evening with the odd break, I manged to get a 5 minute clearnace and spotted Comet Lulin abot 2.5 degrees below Saturn. I estimate that lulin is at about mag 5.5.

Here is a rough and ready shot before the fog rolled in again.....

As good as the binos are, their ability to see through thick dense raining clouds has been greatly exaggerated, :silly:

A cracker Keith. Great colours, and the capture of the trail is cool. One for the astromags methinks!
