Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann
Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann is supposed to be a naked-eye object under the right dark sky conditions. I viewed it in my telescope, a Celestron C8, on Saturday night. What a gorgeous comet with a beautiful tail that filled the entire field of view. (It will be remembered as our anniversary comet, since this weekend was our 20th anniversary!) It's been quite some time since I set up the scope for various reasons....weather, other projects, laziness, my foot problem....but everything came together this weekend and it felt good to get it out again.
A bit of personal stuff: I have been having radiation treatments on my feet. It has been a winter from hell... nearly crippled.... but things are looking up and I am walking normal again! I'm also having UVB light therapy 3 times a week. (I always loved being tan, and now I am tan with the doctor's blessing!)
