4/18/2014 - We finally have some evening comets once again! I observed this comet from Danville MO. It was easily found at 61x in Puppis near M47. It appeared nebulous, with a very slight condensation to center. I decided to draw the FOV at 203x, in order to show some movement over just an hour. I only drew the stars in the middle third of the FOV, as I did not expect it to move very much in such a short time. I was surprised to come back in 53 minutes to see that it had moved almost half a FOV away. It was really moving! It is currently in Puppis, and is moving into Monoceros very soon (heading North).====================================>>>>> 8/24/2014 |
