Saturn, Comets & Asteroids this week!

- Saturn is now out during the evening hours to the east, but the rings will be hardly visible due to planetary rotation.
- Comet Lulin is flying through our solar system at over 145,000 mph - you should be able to see it with binoculars to the east in the evening (close to Saturn)
- Asteroid "1 Ceres" is also visible to the east as well and is as close as it will be until the year 4,000.

Weather might be a problem this week for me, but I hope to get some photos of all three items to try out the scope again after months of bad weather.

Cloudy Moon

Quick shot of the "first quarter" Moon in a haze of clouds to the west. Still mostly cloudy and cold to really do anything with the telescope...so this shot is just with my SLR camera and 300mm lens.
