17P/Holmes Mag 3
This comet tonight looks excellent at 100 X's in my 80mm ED. (15mm plossle
and powermate 2.5) A pinprick of a nucleus and hint of a tail along with a diffuse coma makes it impressive even in mag 3.5 - 4 skies. It is beside delta Per for magnitude comparison. I wonder if anyone can get a spectral signature of it.
