Default Comet P/46

This data was taken December 1 and December 4, 2018. This comet is
expected to be seen by the unaided eye by the middle of December and is
easily seen in binoculars and a telescope right now.


It should be visible but I’ve had interference from Murphy’s variable
nebula. Only two nights in the last week have been without thick cloud
cover. One night the cloud cleared when the comet’s azimuth was 4 degrees.
The other night was foggy so you could count that as cloudy too.
