I wanted to see comet Bradfield again before moonlight interferes so i got up at 4am again this Saturday and drove back out NE of town a bit. As i mentioned...
Well, after long absence, I have a chance to watch the Moon this week. My latest craze is to find crater chains on the Moon ... Anyway while meandering around...
... so i got up at 4am again this Saturday and drove back out NE of town a bit. As i mentioned last week this site is out of some of the larger light sources...
Hi Florian Glad you were happy to see Bradfield again. I also got up at 4am, headed to a decent spot with a good view east, but there was way too much haze...
Hi Florian: I agree this has turned out to be a very nice comet. I made a sketch of it yesterday morning: http://home.fiam.net/ericj/comet_bradfield043004.html...
LINEAR and NEAT continue to dominate our predawn and evening skies. This morning, Sunday May 2nd, Linear is easily spotted with the eye sitting like a blurry...
Although I tried to locate T7 on the 27th, it wasn't found... might be my latitude. Looking forward to Q4, though. Carol Tomahawk, WI 45N//89W ... town ... up ...
Nice report Eddy, thanks. Looks like Q4 picked the right phase of the moon to begin its northern hemisphere appearance [which probably means an immediate ...
... Hi Eddy, Your observation was very consitent with my own last night and on Saturday Night througn my 16 x 60 Binos. I did not use the telescope as I had...

Hello people from StarryNight I have seen the comet NEAT (C/2001 Q4) with my telescope named Darth Vader, (180mm, reflector, Dobsonian)... I used Canopus, Tau...
Hello Fella Starry-eye-gazers, Last night, seeing was not very good (we're having a heat wave) but good enough at times to see what looked like to me a dome in...
Great tracking work, Vlamir and congratulations on your first comet! If you have a good computer mapping program it makes finding comets a lot easier. However,...
Hi Ron, Unless I've missed something, my copy of Rukl does not show or list anything definitive as a dome in Grimaldi. Nor has Fancy Pants seen such a feature....
And that's what it was... just a glimpse at about 8:20pm local time before it set over the mtns SW of town. I was using my Tele Vue 76 with 16mm Nagler for 30x...
... I am sure this occurred to you but remember (other than the obvious aberration of picking up a depression as a dome as has been noted) that any such...

Thank you for your comments... Talking about computer programs, I use StarryNights to observe the sky, it's really good, with this program I was able to find...
Hi everyone, I'm somewhat of a newbie when observing the planets and the detail on them. Last night was a breakthrough for Jupiter. Instead of seeing the...

Well stargazers, yesterday's total lunar eclipse was a true delight! Living in Central Europe I had the chance to witness the whole show. It had been cloudy...
