Comet Boattini has been causing interest for southern views in the past weeks, as it is coming within reach of small binoculars in the early predawn sky. I...
I have also observed Comet Boattini from Las Campanas Observatory at the beginning of June and also from Romania in middle may. The most striking aspect to me...
