Hello everybody,
Q4 was surprisingly good from urban Glendale in my ST 80 at 30x. The coma
was large considering the light-polluted sky and offset from the stellar
nucleus. With averted vision the coma doubled in size and extended into a
wide and stubby fan. At about 8:45, a Sky Harbor-bound jet crossed through
the FOV. It had a rather longer tail. Ah, the joys of astronomy from the
city.
The view was definitely worth the time spent. Here's to a big outburst in
the next two weeks!
Matt
