Hi Glen,
I did notice what looked like a planetary nebula next to the comet on the 7th i think, i wasn't sure what it was, is NGC 4038 a galaxy or a PN? My SkyMap Pro doesnt give me the NGC catalogue as i don't have the original data disc when i installed the program. I can update comet ephemerides but not access NGC objects (which doesnt bother me at all!)
Hows the weather treating you up there in Casino???
Cheers!
