I abandoned my yard and made a dash for the local high-school parking lot. With the sun about to set and just behind the press-box over the football field, I found it in the 15x70mm bino, and followed it down to the horizon. Echo the stellar appearance, with just a hint of tail-flare. Once located, the brightness astounded me. This is without a doubt, intrinsically the brightest comet I have ever seen. If it were not on the other side of the sun and seen in a dark sky, it would cast shadows! I took some telephoto shots but due to the sky brightness, it may not appear as more than a white dot. I bracketed both f-stop and exposure time so maybe something will show up (shooting film). Why do all the really bright comets only appear when it's COLD!!??? --- Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
Found it w/7x35s and am now using my C-8. Stellar appearance. Tail not as easily seen in C-8 as in binos.
