If you have been following the news you probably heard about the "Green Comet" or "Comet Not Seen In 50,000 Years".

I FINALLY got to see it and image it last night as between cruises and lousy weather it has avoided me. It is a beautiful comet but it is NOT easily visible to the unaided eye, especially with the Moon approaching Full this week.

Here are several links you can read all about the comet, including live webcast links:

SKY AND TELESCOPE

EARTH AND SKY

If you have binoculars or a telescope try to see this truly "visible only once in a lifetime" comet.
