Comet Holmes

Post by SplatterTone »

After hearing and reading all the news about Comet Holmes, I finally got out with the 20X80 binocular to see what I could see. In the 20X80, it is huge, no kidding. At 12:45 AM (normal time now) it is just a little bit north of overhead in Tulsa. Most people don't have a 20X80 binocular, but I think it will show up just fine in almost any binocular or telescope.

That's confirmed. All I've got right now is a little pair of Bushnell binoculars, and the comet shows up just fine in a downtown area.

Great view. I hope it lasts until I can get home to my telescope.
