This image is a combination of two different lenses. The
original image is taken with a Audine Kaf 3200 ME ccd camera, settled on a 300
mm tele lens at 2008-12-17.
The comet in the middle is taken with a ST10XME ccd camera and the same chip, settled on
a 12" SCT f-7 telescope at 2008-12-19.
The comet above is taken with the Audine camera and the tele lens of St�phane
Takbou again at 2008-12-21.
How the "curve" in the comet's path is coming from is shown in the following link:
