November 16, 2010

False color image of rapidly fading comet C/2010 V1 (Ikeya-Murakami), obtained on 2010 Nov. 16 (12h23-12h32UT) with GRAS-05 telescope near Mayhill, NM (Takashashi Epsilon 250mm, f/3.4 Hyperbolic Flat-Field Astrograph + SBIG ST10XME CCD + V filter). Exposure time was 5x60 seconds. Image scale is 2.51 arc sec/pixel. The image is quite poor due to morning twilight and apparent problem of inadequate flat image. Copyright © 2010 by H.
