Howdy all;

The subject line says it all, Comet Hartley 2 is right next to one of my
favorite open clusters in the sky--NGC 1528 in Perseus.  The cluster and
the comet are about the same size in my 8X42 binoculars but the comet has
a nice, bright core and the cluster does not.  Averted vision makes them
both larger and more prominent.

Enjoy;
Steve Coe
