NYC may be in the slow lane these days but it's still too f*cking bright.
Comets are mythical beings and I approve.

Saw it pretty well last night, less well tonight. It has a big long tail. Pretty great.

Re: Who can see the comet?
I've been trying to spot it since I get up for work at 530, but by the time I can step out for a minute to get a good view twilight is already drowning things out. Mars and Venus have been awesome lately though.
I'm gonna try once I swap to evening shifts here soon, though I've read it's better from northern latitudes (meaning Owl gets a better view up in Wisconsin than I do here in Georgia)

Supposedly it's been visible in Seattle but I've not thought to go out and look.

Re: Who can see the comet?
Had to get my binoculars out because the sky is still quite light at night here currently, but luckily I spent many years in art school drawing the night sky and can now find things pretty easily up there. JUST SAW THE COMET!

Re: Who can see the comet?
I tried last night but where I live is surrounded by generally dense pine/oak forests and where it was only like 20 degrees above the horizon it was hard to find a spot. Where I *did* get a decent view of that part of ursa major, it clouded up. Lame!
But I wound up looking at Saturn through a crappy telescope instead. So win?

Total win! Half of the point of looking up is finding something unexpected.sleepysilverdoor wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 7:26 amBut I wound up looking at Saturn through a crappy telescope instead. So win?
