Down the beach this am, to see if I could find the new comet C/2010 V1 at about mag 8-9. Snapped a few shots and happy to have captured an Iridium flare, though didnt see it. Lotsa satellites in that image too. :)
Spotted Comet Hartley in bins, though getting fainter managed an image. It was lurking in Canis Minor. ;)
Pretty sure I spotted the new comet as a small faint fuzzy, though didnt show up in my images, and the sky was lightening quickly . Not much of a window with the comet, as near Saturn, and rising just prior to dawn.
