Comet 13P Olbers

[andrew63]

Comet 12P has put on a good show and another Halley-type comet is on its way! 13P Olbers is in Taurus and should be observable in binoculars throughout the summer months -  perihelion on 30th June with a magnitude of around 7. It's about 10th mag. now and up by the Pleiades, so reasonably placed in the evening.

Just noticed 13P Olbers on stellarium while checking the altitude or 12P Pons-Brooks. 

Then checked SGL for any info. 

Prolly too feint for untracked DSLR shots.
