Comet Lovejoy

[WaveSoarer]

When I got home it was clear and, after checking some on-line charts, I went looking for comet Lovejoy. Sure enough I found it fairly easily by tracking to the right from Hercules. The head appeared larger than M13 and by concentrating it was possible to make out a slightly brighter core. The tail was also apparent and there were occasional glimpses of filaments. Well worth a look, though it's probably best viewed just after dark when it's higher above the murk over the horizon.

I had a brief observing session tonight, my experience was similar to yours, Lovejoy appeared as a core and head with a decent tail. I was observing using my 15x70 binos. M13 looked good as well, cheers Ian

I've just in from having another look. It's certainly moved quite a bit from last night.
