Sky this Week

I spent some time recently to create my own WordPress blog theme. I couldn’t resist using Dan Laszlo’s excellent mosaic of Long’s peak and comet McNaught from last January. Dan is a member of one of our local astronomy clubs NCAS in Fort Collins, CO. After the comet disappeared for us in the northern hemisphere a member of the Boulder club, Paul Robinson, determined that it might be possible to still observe the tail and in fact did so. Dan was the first to photograph the comets tail extending above the horizon.
