Hello All, here's just a quick post regarding Comet 8P/Tuttle now gracing our evening skies, I had a look with the naked eye under clear skies, and could not see it, but it was quite visible with my 15x70mm binoculars, probaly agin at magnitude 6, green in colour but no tail at all, just a diffuse round glow, slightly condensed in the centre.

Here it is:

Nice shot Keith, suffices for me to see this as I have yet to actually see the comet yet... :oops:
