saw a comet
12 years ago
Yes, success! Finally. LeoSTARR saw comet PanSTARRS tonight at 8:10pm EDT. Used a pair of 7x50 binoculars, had to wait for the sky to darken enough to spot it. Was on the roof to get a decent view of the western horizon. It has a nice little very discernible tail pointing upwards. Haven't seen a comet in a long time! Attempted to take a pic but did not come out, so I'll just have to sketch what I saw.

Indeed it was. I'd been trying since March 12 to get a decent clear sky to see it, finally did last night. Looked again tonight, but it was too cloudy.

Maybe... similar name to mine, anyway, the starr part.
