Thanks for posting Kurt, I was just opening my observatory when your message arrived. My planned imaging session is now on hold while I get pictures of the comet (I'll post any that are worth looking at). pw On 14 May 2007, at 21:34, Kurt Fisher wrote:
Comet Lovejoy should be easy to find tonight. It is midway between eta Dra and theta Dra. A report today on Cloudynights stated it is visible in dark skies with 10x70 binos and in 10" Dobs with no info on brightness.
Recent ICQ observations are:
COMET C/2007 E2 (Lovejoy) Total-magnitude and coma-diameter estimates (visual unless otherwise noted):
2007 May 11.55, 9.5, 4'.0 (Y. Nagai, Gunma, Japan, 0.32-m reflector); 8.94, 8.3, 8' (J. J. Gonzalez, Leon, Spain, 25x100 binos); 7.57, 9.4, 4'.7 (Y. Nagai, Gunma, Japan, 0.32-m reflector);
