Left of the sun, in the morning, means north of the sun- correct? Too much glare to see it here this afternoon, but I may try at sunset. I'm going to try and position myself so the sun will be behind a mountain, while the horizon to the north of it will be a few degrees lower. If no success tonight I may try a trip up the canyon Sunday morning. --- Rob Ratkowski Photography <ratkwski@hawaii.rr.com> wrote:
Well Double WOW here. I just spotted the comet about a fist's width left of the sun. A small fantail can be seen but the coma is definitely bright and distinct. I used the edge of my roofline to block the glare of the sun, the contrast is enough to make out a comet shape and I'll try to get a shot though I'm about 3 hrs from heading up to the top of Haleakala where imaging is much better.
