Comet Lovejoy Brightens to Naked Eye Visibility 4.2Mag. | |
*<3sugar&spice<3*  User ID: 13989255  United States12/30/2014 04:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: John Footpenis From the USA it will be in the South below Orion.......highest in the sky around 11pm. The higher your latitude is, the lower the comet will be. Here in N.C. its about 20 degrees high due South at 11pm. Thank you, but I have no clue where Orion is, or how to recognize it. Is it the Pleiades? Don't feel bad. I have no clue either, am trying to figure it out. The skies here are crystal clear right now too. orion is easy to recognise and takes up quite a lot of space in the night sky .(look for orion's belt) [link to astronomynow.com] Thank you!

Do you have eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to understand? JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY WAY to SALVATION, DELIVERANCE and PEACE! Soon his grace will be taken from the earth and his WRATH will be poured out. Accept JESUS CHRIST while the GRACE of GOD is still available. May the Peace of God be with you! Love, Pray, Repent and Forgive. |

| John Footpenis (OP) User ID: 63248609 United States01/01/2015 01:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just saw it barely with the naked eye. The Moon is so bright now that it's a little hard to see but it is possible. I'll be waiting to take pics, prob till after the Moon wanes some. Quoting: John Footpenis I wonder what will happen towards the new moon 1/19? Hope to see a naked eye tail. John Footpenis |

| John Footpenis (OP) User ID: 63248609 United States01/02/2015 08:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks John 5 stars , the best conditions for me will be after the 8th when the comet is nice and high in the sky and the moon is not washing out the view. Then I just need a cure for the British weather :) Quoting: K Hall K Oh man it's been cloudy forever here and now the brightening Moon, but I WILL get a picture of it....lol. I want a Comet pic for the house. John Footpenis |

When viewing comet C/2013 R1 ( Lovejoy ) around a year ago with 10x50 binoculars. K |

Quoting: John Footpenis Try it with a 200mm DSLR attached to a piggy-back adapter on your scope. You know.......I believe I will........Thanks. Only thing is...Light pollution..!!!! John Footpenis |
