new comet on view

[nytecam]

Comet McNaught [C/2009R1] will be visible through the remainder of June very low on the northern horizon moving through Perseus and into Auriga and near bright star Capella. Maybe just naked eye under perfectly clear and dark conditions but easier in any binoculars

Got some fair pics this week very low down and directly across London but they take their toll from inevitable light pollution

That star is Capella - the comet is much fainter and probably needs binos to find it

Here's some more pics that show the ion tail clearly - the first via a wideangle camera lens+cam
