From Gravel Quarry Saturday night I saw Comet swan in a one degree telescope field of view. Mu Boo was also in the field as a nice two color double star. The tail was faint but visable. Also saw it in 10x50 binoculars. The tail was only seen with averted vision. It was bitter cold (19 F) and only two other people were crazy enough to be there but we say plenty of meteors. One took 5 seconds to cross 45 degrees of sky looking like a fireworks sparkler and leaving a trail that persisted for 30 seconds. Also saw 4p Faye at 11 mag but higher up in the east. Waited for Orion to rise but the frost set in at midnight and I had to shut down.
