I managed to glimpse M10 and comet PANSTARRS in conjunction due some clear spells. Quite impressive in the same field of view at 70x. Glad I got to see this rare sight, thanks for alerting us to it Glenn:thumbsup:

All I have is clouds followed by sunny days and cloudy nights by more clouds day and night. By the time it all clears I'll have missed it. That'll learn me not to buy another scope.:P
