So..., I turned to the comet, which I could not find in Binocs due to the moon.

I did have the RA and Dec, so I punched it into the computer and the scope found it dead center, first try.

This thing is odd, very yellow, very bright, like a doughnut.
My wife and I saw the ISS/Shuttle flyover too.

With this comet, the next couple of days are going to be interesting.
