A Lulin-style hair before hair cut
Revised on 2009 March 12.
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).

It has been quite a while since my last update about Lulin. Sorry, guys, I learn that many of you keep visiting my blog to see what's up with Lulin's boyfriend. Actually, I was on travel from Feb. 2 to 21, that's in the course of my "five-ring" project. I plan to visit China's every corner by

Today is my last day at Nanjing, I visited Ming Tomb, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, Gate of China, Nanjing Wall, etc. These places are great (actually, you may have seen the recently-updated photos here, they were all taken during my country-cross travel). But the biggest surprise is made by Liaoshan and Yunxi, sending me such a

Sorry for lacking of updates on Lulin, I haven't many stories to tell as the comet speaks itself (herself), what's more, I'm now on a cross-country travel and is always on mobile, so I can't write much. If any of you happens to be at a YHA around Shanghai now, please let me know and we

I drag myself out of bed again at 4:30 a.m. It's another very clear night, with limiting magnitude around 5.4 (using IMO method -- but this do not mean that tonight is better than last night, since last night I had to use a not-well located reference field as the cirrus block the favourite one).

As Comet Lulin is now approaching the Earth, the questions such as "how is your comet" or "did you take look at your comet" frequently fly into my ears. When replying these questions, I'd love to refer the comet as "my girl", and a standard reply is "no, I haven't date with her since last

[Images Removed] A total of nine images of Comet Lulin were taken by the Lulin 0.41-m reflector over the night of Jan. 5, and I used every of them to process three impressive images as you have seen above. The first one is a color image, combined from one Blue-band image, one Visual-band image and seven

终于找到可以留言的地方了，但要主人审核不知道是不是个好消息！给蚊子叫醒睡不了，突然想著天天都离不开电脑的人可能要注意一下，小心劳损，爸爸妈妈应有这方面经验吧？因本人在将近30年光阴里一无是处，倒是搞了个腰，颈椎增生虽然不严重但很痛，以前一直以为是老人家才会有的。这些啰嗦的话，主人能知道就行，平时注意下做相应的保健运动，不要轻视！
你们高考那年我无聊中发现了这个网站，后来好像上不了了，昨晚又无聊居然百度到，乐啊！
还有一年就毕业了，祝你考试成功！
