Ted Forte All Messages By This Member #57676 开云体育 I caught it on April 9 from here in the southwest. In a 10-inch Dob, it was an obvious fuzz ball, brighter toward the center, with just the slightest hint of a tail.? It was ‘detectable’ in 18 x 50 IS binoculars. ? It’s been getting lower in the sky every morning since. It’ll become an evening object if it survives its perihelion and could become quite nice in Early May. ?
