Hi Milton

Elenin seems to have disintegrated some time ago and the brightness moves around 9.5. 

If you want a nice cometary target Garradd puts up a good show. :-)

Chris

Hi Folks;

Has anyone tried viewing or imaging Comet Elenin C/2010 X1 yet?

It's supposed to be around the Mag 4 to 5 range right now and is 20+° above the horizon an hour before sunrise.

If it's clear and this stupid cold doesn't sap me of all my strength, I might give it a try tomorrow morning.

On a side note, the "nut bars" are having a field day online about it hitting the earth.

TTYL..
