Comet NEOWISE

Anyone else been looking for this once in a lifetime visitor? I managed to see it tonight using binoculars to get through the light pollution of northern England. Pretty awesome.

We can’t see it in the southern hemisphere :frowning:

But you did have a supernova the other day! :smiley: https://astronomy.com/news/observing/2020/07/nova-reticuli-2020-bursts-into-the-southern-skies

I can’t complain, we usually do pretty well from here :wink: But the pictures of Neowise are looking cool :slight_smile:

I’ve been waiting for a cloudless night. We have a thing here where the streetlights are turned off between 1:00 and 3:00 in the morning.

Nice! We’ve just had LED streetlights with bigger “hoods” at the top to reflect the light downwards and it’s made a noticeable difference.
