[Chaos-l] [Medoc-mountain-men] Comet!

Looks pretty good to me.  Oddly, I also had electric wires in my binoc view!
They are everywhere.  allen

Went comet hunting as well, oddly enough I left my Levy Comet Hunter at home
and took my AstroView 120ST as it's just light enough for a camera tripod.
Had trouble finding a good spot and decided to try Hank Anderson Community
Park in Carrboro, but the horizon was tree obscured. Met a fellow named
Warner who was comet hunting as well (by the way he'll be at the Jordan Lake
session and maybe the Little River session too) so we trekked down 54 a bit
and pulled over once we got a line on the crescent moon. The car lights were
blinding, but we were able to observe the comet for about
15 minutes before it set.

I did my best to get some pictures, but the lights wreaked havoc on them.
I've attached the single best image of the night. Hopefully it makes it to
the list. I'll upload a coupe to my astrobin.com page in a few:
