2 comets around at once. That's great.

A good capture.

How do you find out where it is?

Greg.

Hello I have Starry Nights with Comet and Asteroid Updates that has most Comets in its Database .Click on comets in the Planets pallette and click on the comet you want it takes you to it. Tony - I still have to use 80mm Bino's and 100mm bino's to see if I can spot it .The Line up the Star group it's in with my Finder scope.Then line thngs up in the main telescopes.Tony
