The comet is similar to last night, except it seems larger and I think =
the nucleus is brighter (?). It took it about 24 seconds to transit =
across a cross- hair intersection last night without the clock drive on =
and takes 28 seconds tonight. It remains an incredible sight.
It is now a really striking object in my finder (an old WWII M-17 =
spotting scope).
