Hi Chris;


Du'Oh - thanks for the memory "jog".


I  remember reading that and then promptly forgot about it as it was too close to the sun for my northern latitudes anyhow.


TTYL..

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. :-)


regards

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..
