Machholz!!!
Tonight, I drove to our observaion field and met 2 other members of our astronomy club to look at the sky with the bright Moon, Vega and Cygnus to the west, the Big Dipper to the north and Machholz, the Comet to the right of Rigel!
Look at the far right (above): two stars in an inclination: Keid and Beid Eridani. Below them, another star : 39 Eridani and to its left, slightly below, a faint spot...it's Machholz the Comet (it's going to get better once the Moon is out of the way).
15 seconds exposure with the Canon DSC V1, at minus 2 degrees centigrade (temperature down there).
