Anyone get a chance to look for comet Holmes?  Last night was the first
really clear night here in Minnesota in the last several weeks so I went
out with my binoculars around 10PM last night.  It's very easy to find
using a couple of the stars of Cassiopeia as a pointer.  When I went out,
the stars pointed straight down so I just panned downward and there it was
- a circular fuzzy patch with a slightly brighter center - very obvious
once you've seen it and it's easy to pick it out as a fuzzy-looking star
with the naked eye, even here in the light-polluted suburbs of Minneapolis.
 Of course last night was a cool fall night with fairly clear skies that we
get this time of year instead of the more humid summer nights.  Quite a
sight - go look if you have a chance.

Here's a web site about it -
