Hi Chuck We caught Lulin again on Saturday at 9:15 our site has a rise to the east of about 15-20ยบ so I would suspect that Lulin was visible an hour earlier. What we noticed most was the speed in which it moved, it was 1st noticed about a degree south of Zavijava in Virgo but after an hour or so, it just wasn't there. Both tails were easily seen in 15x70 binocs and our larger dobs and my 9.25sct. I'll post an image taken w/ my DSLR. I'll be up again on Wednesday to view C. Lulin and I hope the conditions are like on Saturday, one of the best Hawaiian winter nights at the summit yet. Aloha Rob
