I finally found the comet between clouds low on the horizon. It was small and had a tail about a degree long. Kind of a dud if you ask me. I was looking for something bigger. Then it sank between power lines so I left. Went out to Ivins, Ut to see it. Debbie On Wed, Mar 13, 2013 at 9:22 PM, Dion Davidson <diondavidson@yahoo.com>wrote:
Chuck Thanks for the report. What time did it disappear behind the mountains? Was it directly below the moon tonight? I still can't figure out where/when to look. Thanks Dion

Oh yeah! I'm smack in the middle of the valley and saw a one-degree long tail (about two moon diameters). The lunar glare was bothersome in my wide field 70mm refractor at about 20x, but not overwhelming. On Mar 13, 2013 9:08 PM, "Chrismo" <djchrismo@gmail.com> wrote:
But nothing here in the valley. Anyone else? _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
