When you use a glass like that, you not only block out the light from the sun, you also block out the comet's light. :) ... unless you're imaging .. :) That's actually what we use back in home to see the sun eclipse etc. Another way is to use couple of times folded film-strip. And these are for the...

Pls note what can be seen from equator from the following site http://www.skyhound.com/sh/comets.html Kochu/11-1-07 Thanks Kochu. I still do not quite understand the different visibilities of the comet from northern and southern hemisphere. As the comet is close to the sun, it should be visible alm...

Thank you Acc, I'm looking forward to see the talks about McNaught as it will on news in a couple of days. Sorry to hear that you missed it. I was not exactly looking at the sky, but this one was something that just stroke to my eyes. I'm also interested about the possibility that McNaught could be ...

Ok. I had to register to inform about our 'UFO'. Actully it's still UFO as it's not fully identified. By definition unidentified flying object. Anyway I'm interested about our sky and therefore happy to find this forum! Here we go. Location: Sammy's curry, next to US embassy and Tangling mall. Datet...
