Although probably not recoverable from Utah, a C73P fragment will be near the Ring Nebula at 9:00PM but probably is not recoverable from Utah. M57 will not be up until 10:00 pm and will be at 20 deg az by 11:00pm. So there may be a minor chance to catch a C73 frag and M57 in the same wide-field FOV. Per Crinkwell's Comet Chasing page: "May 7: Component C will pass over the Ring Nebula tonight: 2006 May 8 03:05 UT (May 7, 11:00p EDT). The close approach will last about a half hour. The comet will first be within a degree of M57 2h15m prior to the event, and will pass beyond a degree about 2h15m afterward. For North America this pass will occur in moonlight.; the comet will be rising in the east during the event, seen lower in the sky as you go west. Western observers will miss the closest approach altogether but will be able to see the two objects near one-another as they rise. In southern Europe the event may be visible in darkness prior to dawn, but is highly dependent on location." http://www.skyhound.com/sh/73P.html - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
