Comet Hunting Next Week

Post by Clinton Huxley » Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:37 am

Chance for northern-hemisphere types to spot comet C/2011 L4 Pan-Starrs, which should be visible with the naked eye by the 12th March. Get your telescopes, binoculars and cameras ready, people!

I came between Lady H and her port once. Eventually, the scars will heal. I hope.

Just checked the weather and apparently it's only going to be partly cloudy. Fingers crossed.
