New Comet McNaught is brightening as is passes near the sun
Global Rent a Scope (GRAS) is a proud to be the sponsor of the Amateur Astronomy Picture of the Day (AAPOD), hosted by Astronomy.FM
My latest image of Comet C/2009 R1 McNaught. The tail is getting very long.
Right now it can be easily seen with binoculars, and is just on the edge of visual.
I use Global Rent A Scope G14 wide field in New Mexico.
