Hi friends over the pond

are you able to see the comet approaching the sun? You should be even able to see it with your naked eye. For us in europe, it is too late. Please report and take films, many AVI's

Its totally clear here in Arizona. (Sorry Alexandra) The comet is currently 3rd magnitude, and I just went out and looked, but saw nothing - yet. Ill keep a close eye on the area around the sun as it approaches. If I see any thing at all , Ill post a quick message here!

It is clear here but I can't see anything naked eye. I had a buddy try a white light filter with no results.

Have not tried the Ha scope but I would not think you could see it with that right?

Hi Ken

thank you very much. I think it should work in WL, there is the best possibility to catch it
