The other night at SPOC Daniel mentioned Comet Hartely being in the sky. So tonight I thought I'd have a go at it when it was near the zenith.
It's OK visually. I checked it out from Lakeside on Monday early AM. Still sort of faint. I looked at Uranus over by Jupiter as well, which is already 2 times infinitely more solar system objects than usual for me... Then it was off to galaxy hunting in Fornax. What an interesting constellation! I had 7-8 targets in mind, and "discovered" one more. I'm thinking of going back with the star atlas and really checking things out. Met someone out there named Chris just getting started. He had met someone who was out before I got there... ---- Rev.
