Comet Swan

by Alexander Avtanski

I saw it today again, from the lawn in front of the house. Very bright - it was immediately visible with my 7x35 binos without dark adaptation, even though I was almost under a streetlight. I saw it two times before, the last time was this Sunday (or Saturday) - it was bright then too, but now it is definitely brighter.

The 4" scope shows it nicely - I think I can see a hint of the tail there, but the problem is the light pollution.

Regards,
