Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas
 

Anyone besides me out looking at this comet? Tonight and tomorrow night are supposed to be the best 2 nights to view it.

I had to fight with some city light pollution to my west so the photos didn't come out worth a crap. I'm going to a different location tomorrow night.

I saw it when it was in the east and the last few nights. Best view was tonight.

Yeah we seent it tonight. A little difficult with a naked eye.

Tomorrow night is supposed to be pretty good as well.

Timing is important. Here we can only see it with the naked eye for about 30 minutes about 45 minutes after sundown.

This is true. I wish I had better equipment so I could take photos like these.

I saw it.

Billay is much more interested in seeing Uranus

Visible now in SD. 2'oclock from Venus.

I've been trying to see it for about a week now. Not working out for me.

Probably not viewable yet tonight in AZ. I start looking 45 minutes after sunset. You need a clear view with not much ground light. You might want to download the free Stellarium app from the play store.

The little woman took these tonight. :)

It’s pretty cool, but it’s no Hale-Bopp.

Hale-Bopp was AWESOME!

Yeah, I was a 20 year old stoner college student when Hale-Bopp visited. My friend group would go out nightly to “commune” with it.
