Hi all. Based on a quick look at the clear-sky clock, we're going to be
blessed with an unexpected clear night tonight. So, get out there and
take a look at the comet while it's still viewable.
According to the sky/tel web page, it should be about 1/2 way between
Saturn and Regulus tonight. A finder chart for the next few days is at:

I'm strongly considering going to Farrington for somewhat darker skies
tonight (Wed 25feb09) between 9 and 10. Anybody else interested?
J.
