Thanks for the obs report ,enjoyed reading it
.
I have a 130mm aperture telescope and have not viewed through a larger telescope but am consistently amazed at what this small aperture can produce.
I am a beginner and have not seen any comets as of yet,so your description of 81 p has inspired me to try and look for it,just wondering if i would be able to find it. How big is it? Where abouts is it in virgo ,can't find it in stellerium.
Do you know of any comets that are viewable through my scope in the evening sky?
I have not seen the leo triplet but can't wait until i get my first glimpse of them.i have seen the dust lane in m104 in good seeing,took a lot of patience though.
Thanks a lot for a great report,
