Yahoo! News – Doorstep Astronomy: New Comet Looking Bright

I’ve been taking advantage of the dark nights to use my telescope. Mostly experimenting and last night after I got tired of trying to get the tracker to work, I just scoped Saturn. Nice view of the planet and rings. I tried to find the Machholz comet (see link) but I certainly can’t pick it out. At the property it was obscured behind trees and light clouds. It’s cloudy right not but if it clears up, we are going to a drive tonight. Meanwhile, I’m heading out to try to get the tracker to work correctly.Yahoo!
