[AZ-Observing] Re: Comet Tuttle: The other big comet

This comet, 8P/Tuttle (2008), will soon start rapidly heading south.  Will be 
within a couple degrees of M33 in Triangulum on December 30 and 31.  Definitely 
something to add to your observing list the new-moon weekend of January 5 -- at 
that time it will be in Pisces, near the zenith at end of evening twilight, and 
at maximum brightness (about magnitude 5.7).

  HI all,

Comet Tuttle is comming in, and even now it is a
beautiful sight in the northern sky near Polaris. 
This image, which I took Sunday night shows a fast
moving and very green comet against a starry
background streaking by:

The best is yet to come with this comet, get out and
see it!
