Comet Holmes


Although the comet tail isn't streaming behind it, it's still a comet visible to the naked eye between the Pleides (seven sisters) and Cassiopeoia (the "W").
With binoculars, you can see a halo of dust around it.
Visible just after sunset, I think...it's too cloudy and cold here in Rhode Island.
Wish I was in Baja!

Yeah, I'm up north helping take care of the old folks.
When I go back to Baja in January, I get to house-sit down near Santiago where I spent last winter.
Man I wish I could find somebody reliable to take my job!
