After a rainy evening on Monday, we went to Charlie Elliott’s Dove Fields.  This place has a 1.5 degree horizon and is an ideal place for watching the Comet.  We had 6 CE members showing up.  First we located the moon and from there it was a snap to find the comet.  Everyone saw it through binos and even through Marilyn Edwards Dob.  A great evening.  Here my image of tonight and an animation of the moon and the comet setting in the west. Click the image for the larger version and the animation.
