Right now: Panstarrs about 4 degrees below M31

I have just observed Panstarrs, and I found it in the same 4.4 deg FOV of my 15x70 bins. It was just below and to the right. The fit was tight so the separation is about four degrees. Great sight!

With the sky surprisingly clear for a change I dug out my 25x100 bins and managed to spot it tonight at 20:00 UT for the first time.

Once I found Andromeda it was easy to locate. Looked nice, and I did a quick sketch.

I got both Panstarrs and M31 in FOV last night

If I was into AP it would have been a great Photo

but with regret I'm not

Clear Sky's

I saw it last night. As it was clear I drove up to Keele Observatory. I spent most of the time looking through their 12" f13 refractor (huge thing!), but did pop outisde to have a quick look at Panstarrs through a 10" meade. The last (and only other) time I saw it was 13th March. The tail seemed more spread out now, but that may just be difference between using a pair of bins and a 10" scope.

Just been out again. M31 and Panstarrs in same fov of my 15x70 bins. Can see it from my bedroom window too so don't have to drive anywhere.

Just seen the comet in a borrowed 4.5 inch reflector. The transparency was fairly poor (I'm just outside York) but it was still a magnificent sight. Just what a comet should look like!

Also just seen - remarkable sight. Sketched it and result is in sketching forum.

My best view so far tonight. Located the comet in 10x80's at 9.15pm, again brighter than M31 which was in the same field. Moved on to a 102mm Startravel F5 refractor at 20x using a Meade Superwide eyepiece, brighter view with classic comet appearance. Finally, a closeup view at 80x with the Meade 16" SCT, magnificent, I don't think I'll do better than that. Tried magnifications up to 500x but no more detail was seen. The nucleous was quite circular and with the surrounding coma it looked very much like Jupiter seen through thin cloud at low magnification in a small telescope. This evening produced a definite limit of vision naked eye result.

I saw it in my 15x70's too. It looked absolutely awesome. First time I'd ever even seen a comet properly.
