It's great when you finally get to see it though, isn't it? I'm constantly amazed every time I get to see a "new" (to me) object.

After several failed attempts beginning in mid-August, I was finally able last night to see Comet Garradd from my front yard in Draper through my 10" Dob. With the general light pollution of the valley, several street lights and my neighbor's new dark-activated decorative driveway lamp - for which he is so proud -(three high-watt, unshielded bulbs) I was barely able to see Sagitta with the naked eye. But, star-hopping from there with my trusty Telrad, I was able to just barely see the bluish-green smudge of the comet. Makes me appreciate more and more with each new comet what a major event Hale-Bopp was!
