DazC Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi everyoneI've been reading about comets and would love to have a good look at one through my scope.I am aware that Comet Levy is due to pass closest to Earth on jan 13th but i'm not sure what to expect. I have a celestron 130eq with only 10 and 20mm eyepieces. It should be mag 7.1 aparently.Thanks for any help or info.DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukebl Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Unfortunately, Levy has turned out to be a damp squib and is now 19/20th magnitude. Check here: Comet ChasingComet Garradd is still looking good, in the morning sky in Hercules. Use binoculars or your lowest-power eyepiece.

DazC Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks lukebl,You've just stopped me from spending a few cold nights in the garden looking for something that isn't there. I'll check Garradd out as soon as i can.Thanks again.D.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
