Comet Lemmon
Although an infrequent visitor to this site, I thought that occasional viewers might like to know that Comet Lemmon has been moving through Canis Major in recent evenings and is now about magnitude 7 and increasing in brightness as it heads SE at about 2 degrees each day. I regularly pick it up in 25X100 binos and more detail is seen in my 10" Dob. I have still not observed a tail ( I blame the Moon and old eyes for this! ) but a younger mate can spot a splotchy tail. I have generated a map using Skymap Pro so you might like to try.
Kind regards,
Eugene O'Connor,
