Wacka Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Not even worrying about seeing it. Have seen the sun maybe once in the last two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I've tried to spot it the last two nights, with no success. I am an astronomy hobbyist, so I know where to look, but this is a weak comet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an astronomy hobbyist, so I know where to look, but this is a weak comet. We had clear skies here last night so I went out and looked with binoculars, but couldn't see it. I know my way around the constellations too - it should have been about halfway between the Pleiades and Aldebaran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it one more try tonight, but so far, no luck. Edited December 18, 2018 by sherpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
