If you had seen my skies at 3:30 you wouldn't have thought it possible to get anything, but the skies got better and I got 29P and 17 T2. The reason for the note is that the comet is brighter than 14.0. From the images (and I will analyze it later today), I would say that it was between 12.0 and 13.0 based on the magnitudes of surrounding stars. Of course, the analysis will tell the tale.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Also, got 65P, 16 R2, and 17 K2 in the evening when the sky was in better shape.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">For those of you that don't know Southern California, we sometimes get monsoon moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. That is what I was fighting tonight. My good friend Alan Hale loses much of the summer because he gets the monsoon moisture much more than I do. On the other hand, I get low clouds and fog from the Pacific Ocean which is 25 miles to the west. I am at about 500' elevation.
