Hey all,

It looks like Tuesday the 24th should be a good night. The comet should be close to Saturn.
Anyone up for a trip to SM to observe?

Tim

Tim,

I intend to attend, however do you know what time it will be viewable? Thanks.

Lets not forget Feb. 28th. Lulin will be very close to Regulus on that night . The 28th can be a ran date.

Regarding the 24th, Saturn is viewable by about 10pm if you don't have any obstructions. From LVAAS, probably 11pm is a good starting time.

Tim

Thank you for the update.10pm sounds very tempting. I'm in if everything goes well that day. I will keep you posted.

Tim,

Weather for Comet Lulin looks clear on the 24th. Arriving at SM at 9pm seems feasible and observing until 11pm is the game plan so far.

I SAW IT!!! Right where the charts said it would be.

Leo was in the S-SE sky with Saturn right below the 'hind legs'. To the right about 3 degrees (give or take a bit) and down maybe 2 degrees was a fuzzy ball. Conditions were bad tonight, partly cloudy and very windy, couldn't get much over 80x mag.

What a sight! I'm still defrosting!

Tim

BTW: I also saw the moons of Saturn. They are supposed to transit the planet sometime tonight. Just too cold to wait that one out.

Nicccceeee!! I am glade to hear that the charts are usefull...

Welll Done!

Now, I have to go...

I will keep you posted

Got it again, this time in both scope and binoculars. It was tougher tonight - east of Saturn by about 5 or 6 degrees. It was sitting in a "v" shape group of stars, #'s 56, 59 & 62, a quarter of the way between Saturn and Regulus.
