01/11/2007 Solar Spectrum


I typed a nice long blog but it vanished :-(
So instead of retyping it all, I'll just say that here is a picture I took this afternoon. As you can see the weather is not too good for telescopes, but at least I was able to visually observe the solar spectrum in the form of a rainbow!
Also observed Venus a little bit later as it set, between clouds. It's exceptionally bright these days in the West.
I have not been able to observe Comet C/2006 P1 McNaught yet. It's also putting on a wonderful display in the twilight. My friend Alfredo has succeeded in taking several good images of it, I'm hoping to bag it soon.
