Hi IIS Fam,
Up this morning since around 4am (Helen stayed in bed!) and all was looking good and clear, whilst waiting for Tsuchinshan ATLAS I thought I would get a little more data on M42 (Orion), also had a short and first attempt on IC 2118 (Witches Head).
As usual I didn't manage to see Tsuchinshan ATLAS until around 9 degrees (about 5:08am), due to terrain, trees and roof's in my area. I managed one very quick glimpse for a matter of seconds with my eye, other than that it was bino viewing only. Was only visible for a few minutes before fading into the sunrise.
I think I have resided myself to the fact that I probably not going to get a photo of the comet from our home location. Will have to wait and see what later in the month opportunities hold.
James & Helen
