Yes, we are lucky this year. Three naked eye comets, although Loneos just.
I did not get a chance to spend much time at the eyepiece but I assume the smudge was some of the tail.(I am a beginer concerning comets).
Monday night(5th 11 2007) about 8:15pm WDST seems to hold good potential according to StarryNight. Antares, M4 the Cats Eye Globular and Loneos F1 should all fit the FOV for the 30X100 binos. Also I plan to set the scope up as well.
Fingures crossed!!
