Howdy all;
I found Comet Hartley last night in a friend's pair of 20X80 binoculars.
There were some clouds in the sky, but the Milky Way in Cassiopeia was
clear. The comet is in the western part of Cas, near Lambda.
It is much fainter than predicted, I would guess at a total magnitude of
8. In the big binoculars it was very faint, pretty small, much brighter
in the middle and round. This is from the RV park about 12 miles from
Wickenburg. It goes past the Double Cluster later in October, maybe it
will brighten up by then.
Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
