set up my 8" dob monday night found comet garradd in corves moon was bright and some 10-15 deg away it was faint but the averted vision was needed to see the fuss ball i watched if for around 1 hour and my eyes ajusted and it was a little easier to see still impresive in a small scope tonight tuesday using starry night to find its position i was unable to see it in my 8"dob i was positive that i was in the right area but the moon only around 5 deg away and 60 percent bright it was washed out with moon light.ill try again in 10 days or so when the moon is further away and less bright
