绿色彗星LONEOS接近太阳，挑战观测极限
彗星LONEOS (C/2007 F1) 已经进入地球轨道以内，亮度大增，最新拍摄的照片上，绿色的彗星拖着一条暗弱的短尾，从地面的观测来看，彗星比预报明亮1等以上，9月29日实际亮度大约在8.2等，而当时的预报约10等，彗星继续向太阳靠近，并于10月27日经过近日点，日心距离在0.4AU，估计亮度可达4等左右，近日点前北半球的观测者可在傍晚西方低空搜索这颗彗星，近日点之后，彗星迅速向南移动，但与太阳的角距很小，地面观测条件很差。C/2007 F1 (LONEOS)

COMET LONEOS: "Comet LONEOS (C/2007 F1) is here!" reports Tony Cook of Leeds, UK, who took this picture on Sept. 30th:
"Over the next month this comet is predicted to increase in brightness to 4th magnitude--barely visible to the naked eye but an easy target for backyard telescopes," he says. Comet LONEOS is not a frequent visitor to the inner solar system. One analysis suggests it was last in the neighborhood 42,000 years ago. It's equally possible, however, that the comet has never been close to the sun before; this could be its first plunge. The uncertainty adds suspense to Oct. 29th when LONEOS will approach the sun almost as close as Mercury. Will fresh veins of ice newly heated by sunlight burst forth to produce surprisingly bright jets and clouds? Stay tuned!Cook's Sept. 30th image "was taken under bright moonlight just before dawn," he adds. "Even under these difficult conditions a fine but faint linear tail can be seen. As the moon departs and the comet gets closer to the sun, the view can only get better and brighter!"Astrophotographers, if you wish to try to catch the comet, look below the handle of the Big Dipper for a green 8th magnitude fuzzball. 下了快一周的雨了～ ::070821_09.jpg::
26 27刚好周末估计有希望看看！！ ::070821_09.jpg::
顺便问一下
没有跟踪
曝上几十秒能出来不？ 条件的确很差::070821_15.jpg:: 傍晚西方低空，最亮4等。。。这还有什么希望::070821_20.jpg:: 4等实在是有些暗，我们这里天气最好的时候极限星等也不过4.5::070821_03.jpg::
