Got up this morning and took a look at C/2009 P1 Garradd. I think Patrick is correct, it’s getting a little bit of a tail. Well, in my scope and a fairly bright Moon it seemed to have a wispy fuzziness extending upward to the 12 o’clock position in the eyepiece. I tried several eyepieces and couldn’t seem to resolve it any better. The 2” 32mm seemed to give the sharpest view. I couldn’t bag the thing with SkySafari Pro. I guess I haven’t updated the comet data in this program for awhile. I switched to the Parallels virtual machine and fired up RTGUI (a Windoze-only program) and it centered the comet, pretty nearly. However, I used RTGUI the other day and the comet data was, recently, acquired. It makes a difference if the comet data is not two or three months old, if you’re not freezing and your mind hasn’t gone to mush, to have an uneventful time at the scope. I miss my mind. Dave
