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

Go to www.skyhound.com (http://www.skyhound.com)

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!
