Is holmes really brite and changes colors from red blue orange and white? i saw something like that last night and something diffrent tonight .
Go here for charts that will help you find Holmes. It's an easy unaided eye object. Use the stars near it to "star-hop" to the comet.

Meanwhile, welcome to the BAUT, Icecreammaker!

Read the FAQs, especially the rules, and have fun.

Yo, Galactic2000! Beautiful professional-grade photography! Please post any additional shots.
