Re: Comet Watch

 

That is why it is called adventure!

Hi Everyone!

I hunted for the comet several nights in a row to no avail. I even got together with Seminole State College planetarium staff and the Central Florida Astronomical Society, but visibility was awful¡­?

I was starting to give up hope, however, I decided to try once more last night and Im SO GLAD I did (even withstanding the enormous amount of insects in a random field I ventured out to)¡­???

The last pictures were the cloudiness of some nights before.?

The good news is you got a cold night where the bugs didn't kill you! I suspect the comet will be around for ECSP and a bit higher. These clouds were weird yesterday. I was out at 8 and it was clear except for a bit on the coast from what I could see. East coast is not that far off so it still might be bright. Certainly enough for a telescopic comet.

Last night Jeff Goldstein, Jeannette Ward, and I went to the Marsh Causeway to see the comet.? We did see it, sometimes when the clouds parted, but it played peek-a-boo until total cloud cover rolled in.??

It may be clear tonight, but it's also colder and windier, so I'm not going out there to try again tonight.
