Mike Harkey and I are going to the Spitzer Marina Pier at 2am if the sky remains clear to observe and photograph Comet C/2012 R1 Lovejoy.

It's in Bootes at about 4.5 mag. It will be above the horizon at 2am and is best observed from 3am till dawn. Current images show a bright condensed green coma with a multitude of streamers eminating from the coma.

Anyone care to join us, let me know or just show up!!!

Astronomically, John
