I had me a good look tonight. The seeing seemed better than normal. I even saw a few galaxies and I've never seen one, except Andromeda, before tonight. However I suspect it was actually due to inadequate alignment. I guess I'll have to verify my findings next time.

Anyway, el Comet was pretty cool. Easy to find in the spotter. I just GOTOed to ngc 1491 and slewed up a bit and there it was, in the spotter. Big and round and fuzzy.

And so I showed it to the wife. I told her it was a comet. She heard Andromeda I guess because that's what she told the kids to come see. I told them it was a comet. They still didn't seem impressed. They weren't impressed when I showed them Andromeda earlier either. I guess they expect hubble pictures or something. Oh well, I thought it was cool...as was Andromeda.
