Yeah, I don’t think observing will be worth anything this evening. Scope Nights puts the seeing as poor until Thursday. I have found that it is pretty accurate…about as good as Clear Sky Chart. It’s already cloudy this morning. I think I’m done with comet viewing for a few days. Maybe this weekend? Dave On Mar 17, 2013, at 10:40 PM, Dave Gary <davegary@me.com> wrote:
I saw the comet, but couldn’t get a photo. There were a few clouds. Saw it in the binos and through the 6” ETX-LS. It looked better in the binos. By the time I got the 6” trained on the comet it was behind some wispy clouds. I could still see it, but there was no tail. About a minute later it was below the hills in the west. No way I could get a picture. Maybe tomorrow night. I think half of the clouds in the western sky were the result of con-trails dispersing.
