Hi All-
Just stirring after a long night of imaging and observing. Pics aren't
even downloaded yet. The biggest surprise for me was Comet 144P Kushida -
a few degees west of the Hyades, is good-sized, no tail seen visually, but
was easily picked out in 9X63 binocs and very nice in a 10" Newt. In case
anyone is going out tonight with the MLK day tomorrow, be sure to add it
to your list. You can get the position at:
http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/
and scroll down to 144P Kushida. You can generate a daily ephemeris for
this or any other comet. Have fun!
