Comet 8P/Tuttle

[Neil Dwiar]

Has anyone any info on this one? according to SkyMapsit should be visible overhead near Fordax, about this stage. I realise that it is a fuzzy type, but I'm unable to find it in the night sky at present. I have been using binoculars and am in the North east of Adelaide. Any help would be appreciatted, as I am getting frustrated along with a sore neck trying to pick it out. As stated have been using Skymap for Jan to try and locate it.
Cheers
Neil

then click on Observing Information, then click on Chasing Comets, you'll get a list and a link to a finder chart!

8P is still fading and moonlight interference will not help your cause, is should be visible in Binoculars but you may need a steady rest to distinguish it!

Cheers!
