Although probably not recoverable from Utah, a C73P fragment will be near the Ring Nebula at 9:00PM but probably is not recoverable from Utah. M57 will not be up until 10:00 pm and will be at 20 deg az by 11:00pm. So there may be a minor chance to catch a C73 frag and M57 in the same wide-field FOV.
Well at least _someone_ was able to see it:

Dale Hooper posted a nice image of 73P and M57 to the OAS list earlier today. Dale, while images can not be posted her (an attempt to keep out viruses) can you post a URL to the picture? Patrick

Very nice! Definitely an item for the next issue of News. Just too bad it did not go a little longer and show the tail crossing M-57. Will be interesting to see if anyone was able to image the tail crossing M-57. PATRICK
