Was getting worried about Comet Hartley 2 103P, as weather has been atrocious. Cloudy a LOT.
Anyway, weatherzone said pretty clear overnight, so up 2400 hrs, and trudged doen the beach with camera and binoculars.
Took awhile for Perseus to rise up over the muck above the sea, then light cloud floating in and out.
Tried in bins but couldnt find it.
Took bucketload of pics, and wasnt until I put on the 50mm lens, that I could see the comet in the images, and knew then exactly where to look.
Voila, there it was, a very large and faint ...blob. Like a big round nebula. Yeah, very happy to have got it!!
Didnt try in the Dob, too hard to get it in a position to view comet, and would waken the neighbours, while trying to drag it down driveway.
We have incoming cloud again over the next few days, then the Moon will be around.
I will post some more pics later in the Imaging section, but time to catch some zzzzz, and dream happy dreams.
