Re: [IRCA] Comet Holmes position



It forms an almost equilateral triangle with two stars in Perseus. Follow a
line from two stars in Cassiopeia to find it. Comet is at the lower left of the
triangle. Seems like tonight it was a little less equilateral, more isosceles
than last night, so slight motion can be detected from night to night. With
sharp vision you can tell it`s fuzzy, and binoculars of even 7x help a lot.
Best around 2-4 hours after sunset, high in the northeast sky, before the moon
rises, but it`s waning and latening. Astronomy websites are collecting lots of
amateur photos, such as http://www.skyandtelescope.com and also
