Look at Rob's exposure particulars. The exposure was VERY short (under a minute, IIRC), so M31, though large, wouldn't really be recorded in it's full glory. The comet is much brighter so of course it would register much more quickly. Remember that astrophotos are not "snapshots" but integrated time exposures, then it makes more sense. --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:
I thought it looked like M31, then decided it couldn't be because the comet was so much larger -- and M31 covers a lot of the sky. Thanks, Joe
