Mmm, there's a roughly 15 second delay from the Nasa TV webcast compared to the Satellite broadcast. Looks like I will see it on Intelsat 701 15 seconds before everyone else.

It did better than I expected, Just hope it's flares up enough and long enough to have a look at it tonight. I've been tracking it since the start of June. Even observed the outburst on the 24th and 25th

Took that with me secret 10 mile diameter dobsonian reflector.

Oh man it made a huge eruption of material. This comet MUST brighten dramatically. And I have clouds!

Just watching this live made me feel like I was 6 again when I was watching man walk on the moon.

Anybody got a link to a ground based telescope with up to date pics from Earth?
Every link I've tried is not updated or I cant connect to their server.
I want a preview of what well see.

It was a nice hit though

Brilliant stuff. Just got back to Brissie and suffering from the lack of sleep from an overnight flight! Too bad the skies are cloudy over here in Brissie at the moment. Anyone had a look at it through the telescope yet?

WOW. just watched the live broadcast from NASA
Thanks for the link Rob.
That was the first time I have been able to connect to NASA TV.
Not going to be able to point the scope at it though, heavy cloud cover here.
