Same story at Vekol. Glenn Nishimoto, Jon Christensen, Jim Waters, and
Larry (?) with a 12" SCT showed up.
Thanks to Glenn's interest, we did take a look at Comet Tempel 1, which
will be impacted by the Deep Impact spacecraft in two months. I guess I
didn't realize that it's only going to be 10th magnitude at that time, just
as it is now. At 165x in the 10-inch, we could see some asymmetry to the
coma.
