Tonight’s target with be Comet C/2013 V5 (Oukaimeden), which is very roughly located 10 degrees south of Saturn. I was able to see it last night with the 102mm Vixen, but it was low and Moon was still not fully eclipsed. It was not that difficult to see, but saw no tail, just a fuzzy head. I will try again tonight and hope to have a small window of opportunity to see it higher in the sky, with a larger telescope (8inch) before the rising Moon.
