Last night I told my wife I was going comet chasing. The northern sky is very obscured at our backyard so I had to walk out with a portable rig. Took me a quite a while to spot the faint smudge about 4 degrees north east of Mars. When I got home my wife asked how it was. I said, do you remember years ago when I got the whole neighbourhood out to see Comet McNaught? - well it was nothing like that!
