Re: Comet Hunting Next Week
Anyone seen this thing yet? It looks like it might be clear here tonight so I'm going to have a look once it's dark.

Re: Comet Hunting Next Week
It's gone hazy and there are too many street lights and such in that direction. I can only make out the brightest of stars and nothing resembling a comet.

One website I looked at said you need some pretty good binoculars and know where to look. It's about a fist below the moon and slowly tracking further north every night, iirc.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:Clear night here, but no-see-ums.FBM wrote:I tried again last night, but no dice.

Prepare to be underwhelmed. This guy saw it last night through a 4.5" telescope and wasn't even sure that it was the comet until he double and triple checked. He called it, "a star with a tiny tail."

Re: Comet Hunting Next Week
There are some neat Finnish pics of it here. The page is in Finnish, but if you click on the links in the middle, there will be pics "kiikarikomeetta".
The postings say that it is not visible with the naked eye, or that you have to know exactly where to look, to only see a small dot. But they seem to get nice pics of it already with 300-500mm and about 1 sec.

No way we'll have atmosphere anything like that so near the horizon.
