Comet Boattini and the reddest star in the sky
      05/01/08 07:17 PM

howdy all;

Comet Boattini will be about one degree west of "V Hydrae" the reddest star in the sky. It should make a fascinating field of view with a wide field scope or big binoculars.

approx RA and Dec 10hr 48min -21 55

Enjoy;
Steve Coe
