just posted some comet images
Very nice. Could you add date, time and time zone to each of the captions? I was able to see it again today right at transit (~1305) in 11x80. No luck with 7x35 or naked eye (several reports on other lists about naked eye sightings but they were further south <one guy even said he got sunburned while observing>) Quite a bit of thin clouds made for intermittent viewing. Since the comet was east of the Sun I had to put a garbage can upright on the roof of my carport in order to create a clean, vertical sun-block. Comet was fainter than yesterday and a bit further from the Sun. Less tail visible but still a fun experience. While it's not Ikeya- Seki it'll do. :) pw
