Comet C/20078 F1 LONEOS Observed

Hi,

I observed Comet C/2007 F1 LONEOS on the evening of 3rd Oct 2007 at about 19.15UT. Moderately condensed, about 8th magnitude, low in the dusk sky.

Used 25cm Reflector at 68x. Clear Sky, but still bright in direction of the comet.

Good report John, This comet may reach magnitude 4 or so come the end of the month, but I think that it will be close to the sun..here's hopin'.....

But don't forget, it'll be in evening twillight from our perspective. Sounds like another Comet McNaught.

how true, if so, we'll barely see it really.
