Good view from West Australia this morning, John. Very clear in 25 x 100 binoculars, I estimated about magnitude 8.5, short tail visually about half a degree...
Cheers Jim, so the tail is visible in binocs for about 1/2 a degree - good to know. A friend and I are (hopefully) going to a dark site tomorrow morning for...
Hi Jim, Do you live at a dark location? if so, what sort of average LM do you have their mate? If I lived at a dark site and not in this light soup (and didnt...
Hi all, John Burt and I went out to a local beach here in New Zealand at about 3am this morning (Wed 20 April) to image comet 2003 T4 (LINEAR). We had a few...
Skies are good here as long as they are clear, there is a small town 6km north but behind a hill, nothing to the east or south. Being in the deep southwest we...
Jim, thanks, Wow! sounds very nice - I have seen some great shots taken from country WA - most notably to me Roger Groom's colour film shots he took in the...
Hi Jim - I found this webpage with some photos and descriptions by Maurice Clark of Comet Hyakutake as seen from Western Australia - his experience/description...
Thanks for that, Kearn. As he says it was a very spectacular sight. We must have had some poor weather, I had been following it with binoculars as it moved...

Hi, I recovered Comet 9P Tempel tonight. Small but high surface brightness (10.1 magnitude). Easily seen in my 12 1/2" scope. The last time I recovered 9P...
Correction, 9P Tempel used to be known as Tempel 1, not Tempel 2. I last observed Tempel 1 at the favorable return in 1994. On May 15, 1994 Tempel 1 was 8.9...
Hi Ray, Sadly I read that Greg is very ill - see Greg's Skyhound website http://www.skyhound.com/sh/comets.html I wish him - and I know all the members of this...
I have just added an image of 9P Temple to my album. It was taken on April 9th while I was at the Mid-South Stargaze at French Camp, Mississippi. The comet...
Would anyone have any images of the area around 52 Cygnus (The Western Veil Nebula) taken the night of April 16/17 give or take a day? If so could you shoot me...
My best to Greg and family and hopes for a speedy recovery. -- Dave ... From: belatrix To: CometChasing@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 2:53 AM ...
As most of you know Greg is still recovering in the hospital from surgery and complications. Instead of sending dozens (or hundreds) of cards and wishes, I've...
Since last night was probably one of the first clear nights we have had in weeks, I set out to find Temple1 in my back yard here in the Sacramento area,...
Hi all, I'd like to apologize for the spam that got through here recently. I spent the last 2-1/2 months in the hospital--I didn't originally expect to be...
A Hearty Welcome Back Greg!!, :-))) It was only a little problem compared to yours - but I admit I was a (little) nervous passenger waiting for the driver to...

Thanks Greg, We've all been hobbling along without you, so your expertise is greatly appreciated. Ive been following comet Temple1 with my C14, as we get ready...
I had a look at 9P/Tempel in a friend's 20" Obsession last night. It was easy in such a larger instrument, big and bright. We didn't spend a lot of time...
