• Photo of C/2000 WM1(LINEAR) C/2000 WM1 has brightened in the northern sky. The 20cm refractor at 60x showed its cometary appearance. It had a total magnitude of 11.4 on the morning of October 25 and was 2' in diameter. This is a photo taken by the 60cm telescope. As you can see in the predictions in the OAA Comet Section Reports, favorable observing conditions will continue until mid-December, when the comet moves southward. The comet should be visible around that time in 7x50 binoculars. I will try a color photo of this comet in November. |
