I'm hope to see it with my 20x80s at some stage, but maybe it's gonna be a struggle with the current lunar cycle? I guess we'll (or won't) see. Yes, I think the moon is going to drown it out within a couple of days. ☹️ But at least, once the moon has moved away a bit after christmas it will be much higher. Just hope it stays bright.

Tweedledee Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Had a nice half hour carol singing on the street with hot mince pies and hot mulled wine, raising money for cancer research. About 40 people turned up. ? Then while still reasonably dark adapted, I got my 15x70s on the comet. Very easy to find to the left of Capella but quite starlike tonight, with little fuzzyness visible.
