Subject: Your chance to catch a comet
Hello Friend,
Last night I finally had an opportunity to observe Comet Lovejoy.
Using a pair of 10 x 42 Binoculars, under the dark (but moonlit) skies, here in
the North, I found it quiet easily, just below Orion's right leg, and in the
constellation of Lepus.
I had to bundle up in a parka too, to stay warm, since the wind chill kicked in.
And, if you are interested in knowing more, here is in interesting article on the
Comet, and how to find it:

Now it's a fuzzy ball, and no tail visible, but not hard to find at all.
Good luck, Friend!
