Howdy all;
My RV is parked about 8 miles from Wickenburg, Arizona. That is 60 miles
from the lights of Phoenix. There is Milky Way out my door. Last night I
was using my 8X42 binoculars around midnight and Comet Johnson was rather
obvious, being near the zenith. It was about 15 arc minutes in size with
direct vision and little elongated, I would estimate 1.2X1. Averted vision
makes it larger and more prominent in the binoculars. If I remember
correctly, it is close to Earth in a couple of weeks, but the Moon will be
thick by then.
Clear skies;
Steve Coe
