Managed to get aquick view at about 18:30 low down and through some cloud, also still in twilight
Using the 16" and 13mm nagler was slightly bluey white, only had about 2 minutes observation time before the clouds covered it for good.
I waited all night for a look at comet Holmes, Through the 16" it is umungous, must be at least a third of a degree in Diameter, again only a short time before the clouds covered it.
Called it a night at 00:20.
A rewarding night but very frustrating.
I set the 8" sct up to take some pics but it went into the clouds never to come out again.
