Comet Linear (C/2006 VZ13)
This series of Comet Linear
shows the brightening over the several days imaged. All four images
are three-60 second exposures that illustrate the movement during a
180 second duration. The difference in speed is visible in the amount
of star trailing when comparing images from June 24 and July 2.
The last day, July 2 into the 3rd, was taken through some high clouds
and fog that persisted through the night and into the morning. It was
still easily imaged under extremely poor conditions.
