Comet chase

[Kain]

Will we be able to see it after it comes back from around the sun?

Saw it naked eye at 5:15 this evening driving home from work. Beautiful sight, very long tail.

Shame it went from view in just a couple of minutes - still, at least I got to see it.

Fantastic!!!!

Went up embankment opposite house, can see the South - West clearly. Clear Sky, slight cloud way off low on horizon. Took my 2 yr old to 'look at space ships'. And there it was, the comet, not a space ship ! I was gobsmacked!! :shock:

Amazing sight!! Watched it for about 45mins, flipping cold mind, but well worth it. Took some pictures, but battery's died!!! But Jacob had a great time.

More clear sky's please.

Had a walk up the road with the binos,but couldnt get a clear horizon view.I only just caught Venus.Still might have another try tommrow

[The Warthog]

My first chance will be Saturday morning, if the sky is clear. And I hate to get up early on Saturdays.

[Astroman]

Supposed to rain the next couple days. Yes, HERE. Looks like I missed it...

[Kain]

Looks like it will be clear again tonight, if rather windy!

The cloud gods has given us another chance to view it!

I am going to see it today, even if I freeze my nuts off!

True dedication :notworthy:

I put batteries on charge last night, for use in the 'good' camera, and at the momment, the sun is out, it's blowing a gale, but it's clear sky's and Met Check says it should be clear'ish this evening. Fingers crossed.

Check out the BBC website, it has some pictures including one from Edinburgh. Well I went out last night just after sundown and could see nowt! Dunno how this guy saw what he did!

Well thats pretty well how it looked from here - guess we're just lucky here.

Skies are clearing again now so I'm taking the camera to work this afternoon. Ever the optomist.

Don't need to take the scope with me will I?

Don't need to take the scope with me will I?

Just the camera if it has a good zoom range, and a tripod if you don't think you'll find a wall to rest it on.

Well it worked with Venus last night (check planetary images) so that will do.

I have a mini tripod

clear horizon again here in london! going to try and get a photograph of it aswell.

[blinky]

I finished work at 3pm and on my way home the skies looked nice and clear. Now though......Back to gale force winds and rain. Man I must have pi$$ed off the god of weather!

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Setting off in 20 minutes for another go even though it's totally cloudy at the moment. Just me and the boy this time.

Captain Chaos

[Ben Cole]

Any hints for a newbie...shall I just look west from an elevated position just above the horizon?

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Er.. yes!

Look South West.

Find Venus, the first "star" that you will find and its a bit to the right (about a handspan ish) and a tiny bit down from there.

I'm going in!

sat here with my leg in a cast and no chance of getting out to see, I hope more people get to see and take more pics of the comet as they really are amazing to see.

Cheers

Failed again

Wall to wall black cloud

[Kain]

Same here, thick cloud.

Bummer.

[nitram100]

managed to see it again, seeing wasn't as good, could just make it out with naked eye, it's gonna be one hell of a show for the southern hemisphere people thats for sure.
