andrew63 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I managed to get a first glimpse of Comet 64P/ Swift-Gehrels this evening around 7ish. In the 4" refractor it's visible, but not that obvious. I could not see it at 19x but at 50x a ghostly haze was just visible, I could also see it at 33x with a 15mm plossl. Conditions were good but hazy cloud was around and the sky still had a hint of firework activity. It could be just brightening a little and is well up under Andromeda, also worth mentioning that Sky Safari is spot on. Made for a good night after the Moon and Saturn show! andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bish Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Has anybody been following this one. P46 seems to be taking the limelight. Might have a go at 64P with the scope if I get a clear night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
