[AZ-Observing] Re: Comet C/2002 T7 (LINEAR)


The comet is an easy target even from central Tucson.  I was doing some
webcam stuff on Venus and Saturn so I was setup anyway.  Put an eyepiece
in before I broke down and punched in the comet coordinates.  There it
was, no problem.  I'll probably be using the comet as a target for the
school star parties I have scheduled over the next few weeks.
