Comet C/2007 W1 (Boattini)
      #2504723 - 07/07/08 05:27 PM

First view this am with 8.5x42s at the edge of Taurus where Aries and Cetus intersect.

Comet was very faint, without form or detail in unsteady skies just before dawn.

Hi,

I observed Comet Boattini this morning with my 12x36 IS and 15x70 binoculars. It's pretty easy--a good binocular object if you can get up early enough.

I made this report and sketch in the SSO forum.
