My "Lulin tail"

With the help from Sisi Chen, I finally managed to make a "Lulin-style" hair before I cut it off -- see above. I wish to thank Sisi for her patient and help. Sisi is also a fan of astronomy, and she had been well possible to study astronomy in Nanking University -- but for some coincidence she came to Sun Yat-sen University and study meteorology as me.

Today I went to the barber's and cut my hair very short. Let's see how Lulin will response this time! Before updates on Lulin's appearance, let's see some nice photos from Lulin and others.

Michael Pagitz AMOS Observatory, taken remotely with Global rent a scope. 105 min. total exposure

 This very nice photo is taken by Michael Pagitz with a GRAS (Global Rent-a-scope) telescope, used with permission. Michael is a long term user of 7Timer! service (http://7timer.y234.cn) and I'm really happy to see his nice Lulin image!

Lulin's burst on Feb. 25 (process with the data of Lulin 41-cm reflector; not republishable)

And finally I took some Lulin images with the 0.41-m reflector (the one which found the comet) during the course of Lulin Sky Survey, and confirmed that I have to the right to publish them on my blog this time (but please don't re-post these images on your sites). The animation above show a major burst during late Feb. 25, the duration of this animation is about 1-hour (around 15-16h UT).
