Hi all Just a short note to inform any comet observers that C/2005 E2 Mc Naught is now creeping into the evening sky. It getting better placed each evening in the south within Capricornus although you will need a good unobstructed horizon and dark sky to see it. It is currently and mag 11.0 and slowly climbing higher each evening and will brighten to mag 10.0 in January. I will try for this comet on the next clear evening. Check the link below for its locaton in the sky...... www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/2005E2/2005E2.htmlHappy Hunting!
