    Comet Lovejoy

    Not sure if this is the right section to put this thread - mods may move if req'd

    The next few nights will be the last chance to easily spot this blue comet;

    said to be "naked eye" but even with a dark sky binos would be best

    remember that in respect of the info on the US site , our view is 180 deg different, best guide is on heavens above (1st link)

    yeah, I've seen it with my binoculars, but very few opportunities because of cloud cover...bugger

    there is also a good conjunction looking west just after sunset.....the moon will join it too.

    yeah my son and eye were looking at it last night .....but if you didn't know exactly where to look you would never see the powder puff ball with your naked eyes.

    I hope it's better in 8000yrs time when I'm looking at it.
