Despite the cold and tremendous light pollution in my back yard (from both the waxing moon and Orem city to the South of me in Lindon), I managed to find it rather easily sweeping through Lepus (below Orion) with my 9x63 binocs a couple of nights ago (around 8:30 pm), as Chuck mentioned. Because of the LP, it was mostly just a tailless smudge, but bright enough to easily make out. The finder chart at S&T was helpful in locating the general vicinity. /R From: Bruce Hugo via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> To: "utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2014 7:00 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Comet Lovejoy So has anyone observed Comet Lovejoy recently? Does it look like it will reach Mag 4 on closest approach as predicted? I've not had a chance to look for it yet.
