Comet Neowise


Casting  potential telescope vision for Comet Neowise out across the dense urban sprawl
Log: The new comet Neowise in the morning sky is said to be one of the brightest in a long time. That being said, it's completely invisible to the naked eye in a light polluted sky. I checked the sky on two mornings and did not see the comet. The chart shows its location quite far to the north near the deck's Northern wall limit. The brightest star found was Aldebaran next to Venus. The alpha star in Taurus, at -2.1 appears to bookmark the limiting magnitude of this inner city metro location. Many city dwellers are recommending binoculars to find the comet.
