| Comment | Well, I couldn't quite convince myself that I could see the comet with my naked eye tonight, but of course it's a lot lower in my sky than it is for those of you south of the Equator. It is, certainly, as easy binocular object. Telescopically (41 cm reflector) I could trace the tail to about 30 arcminutes in approximate p.a. 340 degrees. |
