Gordon; I agree with your observation with 8X42 binoculars from my house in Phoenix, Az. I did not see Mercury with the little binoculars. It is very scary with the comet that close to the Sun, particularly with wide angle binoculars. I used the pillar for my observatory to block the Sun and kept it at the edge of the field in the binoculars. It did not stand out nearly as much as I thought it would, low contrast between the glare of the Sun and the comet in daylight. Take Care, this is a dangerous observation; Steve Coe -----Original Message----- From: amastro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amastro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of GORDON PEGUE Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 12:11 PM To: amastro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [amastro] McNaught Daytime visual reports Albuquerque: 12:05 local time. WOW! 11X80 binocs Very prominant bow shock feature in the coma, tail about 3/4 D, Mercury in same field. Scary close to sun. My 1st daylight comet!
