Your postings are always among my Must Read e-mails I receive from naturens. I hope other recipients of your e-mails take the opportunity to view the night sky and take in all its wonders being guided buy your engaging words and easily followed maps. > > Tom K > > Canso > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Sherman Williams > To: Naturens Naturens ; Tom & Terri > Sent: Friday, March 29, 2013 7:59 PM > Subject: [NatureNS] Re: Comet PanSTARRS > > > I've just learned that one has to be signed up for dropbox, in that case I've just posted the diagram on my website at this link: > > > http://users.eastlink.ca/~shermwms/PanSTARRS.024.024.jpg > > > > Sherman Williams > shermwms@eastlink.ca > http://www.sherm39.com/Site_2/Home_Site.html > > > > > > On Mar 29, 2013, at 7:32 PM, Tom & Terri wrote: > > > Great Sherman > You have to sighn up to dropbox first though. > Tom K. > > > > > > If the sky remains as clear as it is here in Avonpot now, its will be a good chance to see Comet PanSTARRS just above the NorthWest horizon. It looked quite exciting last evening before the Moonrose. The best window of visibility is between 8:45 and 9:30 p.m.. It is near the horizon . Must be an unobstructed NW horizon, without bright lights; a must. ALSO a pair of nicely focused binoculars. Once you know where it is , when the sky darkens a bit you can pick it out with the unaided eye. I stress again a clear, dark NW horizon, unobstructed from lights, tall buildings and trees. This is important. Use binoculars. > > > To aid in locating the comet, I made a diagram that can be accessed in my Dropbox at the link that follows.
