I was out last night and had no difficulty seeing the comet in my 11x56 binoculars, but I wasn't aware it was that close to something else of interest. BTW I assuming that "V" Hydrae is HIP53085, right? I didn't notice it, but then again I was so fixed on catching Boattini, that I wasn't looking at anything else! Cloudy tonight , but if it clears a bit tomorrow night, it will still only be 1.4° away and close enough to catch in my big binoculars... -------------------- Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Comet Boattini and the reddest star in the sky stevecoe 05/01/08 07:17 PM Re: Comet Boattini and the reddest star in the sky CESDewar   05/01/08 10:50 PM Re: Comet Boattini and the reddest star in the sky Jeremy Perez   05/02/08 12:29 PM Re: Comet Boattini and the reddest star in the sky stevecoe   05/02/08 02:16 PM Re: Comet Boattini and the reddest star in the sky rocco13   05/02/08 06:13 PM Extra information 3 registered and 1 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
