Comet Holmes has moved and changed a bit. Tonight the nucleus was much more difficult to see and the inner coma seems to be blending in with the outer coma....
Bill, I agree it also looks dimmer then Delta Per - last week it looked brighter. Do you think it's because it is fading or it's bigger? The inner coma seemed...
Tim, I think it's bigger. Also, the nucleus was much more difficult to see last night and the inner coma was more diffuse. Maybe it is ejecting more material...
Holmes was visibly more dim tonight. It is no longer equal to or brighter than delta Per, to the naked eye. In the scope, it appears not to have changed much...
I just added a photo of the comet that I took from my driveway within the city of Baltimore. I used a C9.25 and a Meade DSI I color camera. The shot is a...
I didn't buy a new scope but whenever I even think about taking mine out there seems to be gathering clouds. It's almost like a Spielberg movie. LOL. ... ...
I just look tonight the Comet is bigger fainter (not naked eye) and the bright area seems stretched with no hint if a "Nucleus". of course it is hazy so how...

Agreed - this is a great time to get in some observing before the evenings turn "buggy". If we get a clear evening and you're heading out drop a message here...
Definitely sounds like a plan.especially since it's close. I must say that getting home at 3:00 from Piney Mountain was a "bit much" for these "old bones"....
Hi folks, The clear sky clock says tonight will be a pretty good bet - may be a little windy but temperatures will be in the 50's. I think I'm going to head...
I'm new to astronomy (got my first telescope in December) and new to this group but I'm interested in becoming more involved. Is there a designated place...
Hi Tim -welcome to this informal group! The site that we use is a park in Cockeysville called Dulaney Springs. It has pretty good horizons and fair light...
OK.you guys win. I'll try to be there this evening too.pretty much a certainty. Is the place "relatively sheltered" from the wind? Do we set up by the cars?...
