Clouds at Stansbury. Maybe Friday morning. BTW, I just received the following: +++++ There will be a Comet ISON Star Party at the Joshua Tree National Park on Saturday, November 23rd from 6:30 to 10pm. +++++ patrick On 20 Nov 2013, at 06:22, Chuck Hards wrote:
Using my 40+ year-old Bushnell 8x40mm Wide Angle bino (ten degree true FOV), I could detect about a 2-1/2- degree long tail and bright, concentrated coma this morning. The tail is pointed back in the general direction of Spica. Backyard in the middle of the SL valley.
I'm going to try again in a few minutes from my office in North Salt Lake using the 10x25mm bino I keep here. Waiting for a cloud to move away.
Any luck from Stansbury, Patrick?
