OT: Comet, anyone?
To disable ads, please log-in.
Just a heads-up! If you haven't heard by now, there is a bright new comet gracing our skies, but not for long for those of us in the northern hemisphere.
Comet McNaught is heading for perihelion (close pass around the Sun), then will be a grand sight for southern hemisphere folks.
Check out: www.spaceweather.com for details, and a finder chart at:

Happy viewing!All vintage, all the time.

Tonight and tomorrow are suppose to be the brightest the comet will be. Thankfully, yesterday's storm blew out of the area and I can get out for some pictures tonight and in the morning. Can't wait!
