Much has happened over the last month, including an effort to get things packed into boxes. Well I’m not packing the telescope just yet because there’s a chance I can get a decent look at Comet Holmes which seems to have undergone a mysterious brightening recently. A couple of nights ago I went out to take a look but didn’t even bother lugging the ‘scope out because we had a full moon – the largest full moon of 2007  – and I couldn’t even see Capella.

Perhaps tonight will be better? Unlikely. The telescope doesn’t have to be packed away this week. I’ll try later on.

UPDATE: The comet is clearly naked-eye visible as a fuzzy dot, even with a just-waning moon nearby. I didn’t bother with the ‘scope. Maybe tomorrow night.
