Mercury, Mars and a comet.

[Liz]

Popped out last night to check out Mercury, which was quite bright in the western skies after sunset.:thumbsup:

Crawled out of bed at 4am today to tackle the finding of Comet Garradd, which I did, yeah, quite easy as large and nebulous. (more info in observational section). Very happy to find this at last. :D

Down to the beach to check out the beautiful constellations of Orion and Taurus which were looming over Magnetic Island. Mars was easy to spot in Taurus. Quite a few sporadic meteors flitting around too.:)
