Default Comet Chasing in August 2004

We still have many comets visible in smaller instruments that are well=20
placed for observation in August.



Yup! Comet C/2003 K4 LINEAR was 4=B0 south of M3 last night. I viewed =
them both from my backyard with my Tele Vue 76. The comet was larger =
than M3 but dimmer. I was unable to see a any sort of tail through my =
suburban-like skies.
