Comet Garrad and a Planetary system

[squeaky]

Comet C/2009 Garrad is heading towards Cancer this month and will pass very close to a star which has a known system of five planets. (55 Cancer)

So with an FOV of around 1 degree you could an "interesting" composition with the closest point of approach around the 25th May.

My Stellarium (screenshot tweaked to save space) run ahead shows this...

You might also be able to get a composition with NGC 2683 (an edge on spiral galaxy) on the 11th (weather permitting)

However, for both of these your scope will need to cover approx mag 9.5

Excellent! Thanks for the heads up. I've been following garrard on and off since last summer. It has certainly passed by some interesting objects on its journey.

You're welcome. I see that you'll have no problem viewing the mag 9.5 stuff Nice kit.
