Re: Comet Neowise

yay for that 180 mm lens…  =)      beautiful shot Jordan !!!!!
yeah, I tried 8x and 10x bins, and both of our scopes, but liked the view best with my 8x bins
this reminds me of birding in Colombia April 2010…….  really cool endemic species right in front of us, within 20-30 ft, but most of us kept turning around to watch a volcano that was sputtering, poofing, coughing, blasting smoke and debris into the sky….  and this was no IQ test, we just could not take our eyes off that “thing”

Comet Neowise

If interested, don’t have to wake up in early AM hrs to see Comet Neowise now. It’s visible best after 10:30 PM, about 2 fists above the horizon, below the Big Dipper in the NW sky. The comet will rise a bit closer to the Dipper each night between now & 7/23. Visible with naked eye but looks really good though binoculars &, I’m sure, best with a telescope.
