Thanks Patrick, for the "heads up" (figuratively and literally)! I just looked at the comet for the first time thru my Bear 15x70's binos and the image is amazing!!! At this power, it looked larger than the full moon! Definite green glow. Skyglow too bright in West Jordan to discern the tail, but the nucleus was pronounced. It is almost directly overhead at 9:25 MST and slightly SW of M45. Thanks again, Patrick for letting us know in such a timely fashion - as you always do. If anyone gets pictures, I hope they will publish here. Thanhs and clear skies, Jim Stitley --- Patrick Wiggins <paw@trilobyte.net> wrote:
The comet and M-45 are in the same field of view of my 11x80s.
Looking good.
I hope someone's getting a picture. Tom is looking for a good shot of the comet for Nova and all he's got so far is the yucky one I shot the other night.
