The rains have finally stopped in North Texas and the skies are cloud free. The Ark builders have also stopped working!
My observing was with my NexStar 8 and a 14mm Radian.
I was able to see all three of the 'visible' comets. C20001 Q4 was quite clear and continues as a much smaller fuzzball. C2002 T7 was the most difficult because it is so low and my SW sky looks toward a major shoppimg mall. But it was there as a very faint fuzzball. C2003 K4 was up at 50 degrees in as dark a sky as I get. While it was very faint, it was very distinct. To be able to see then in one short viewing session was amazing.
The sky never shows more than three stars in the little dipper and tonight was no exception.
