After the NAW Free Public Stargazing Session at Baywalk, I together with ALPers Jett Aguilar, Vincent Lao, Dennis Buenviaje and Andrew Ian Chan went to PAGASA Observatory to try to observe and image the comet even under a not so dark sky there. After 30 minutes of setup and scanning the area, we were able to see the comet and I was able to image it below:
The comet was estimated to be around magnitude 6 more or less and from the image above, a 1.0 degree tail can be seen fiantly because of bad sky. Nevertheless, we plan to go to Caliraya this saturday under dark skies to try to get a more decent image of this comet. We stayed there till 4:30am PST and had a group shot taken before we packed up our stuffs.
