Too bad it's overcast and raining outside, I'd take a look through binoculars for sure, probably set up my scope as well. Hopefully, it stays visible for some time. [:)]

Blir next time you tease with "Sale At Penney's" you'd better mean it!

I finally had a chance to see it a couple of nights ago. It appeared as a blob through 8x35 binoculars, under the light polluted sky here in Toronto. It's supposed to be clear again tonight/tomorrow, I'll probably set up my telescope and try snapping a few pictures of it.

"When the Deep Impact probe hit Comet 9P Tempel, there was almost no change in brightness," says Marsden. [b] "This outburst by Comet Holmes is extreme!" [/b]
Sometimes this stuff just writes itself. [:o)]
