02/25/96 4:00 PM EST 02/24/96 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM EST Seeing...very good around LM 6.0, with nearing first quarter moon. Observed the Comet C/1996B1 M1=8.2 DC=3 DIA=12' using 8" Dob and 10X50 Binos. No tail observed nor a stellar nucleus. Easy object in the 10X50 Binos. Also observed the M81 group and the M65 M66 area. Spent about 1 1/2 hours on the comet. It was the first time in nearly a month that I have been able to observe (other than a quick peep through the little 60mm refractor). AHHHH it felt good! Home |
