Last evening, I observed Canis Minor with my 10X50 binoculars. Procyon looks like a completely white star in binoculars which means it's slightly hotter than our own star. Above Procyon, is a 3rd magnitude hot blue star called Gomeisa. It has a very blue look to it in my binoculars. Earlier, I observed Betelgeuse again & it may be starting to get brighter. In my eyes it's now about 1.5 magnitude compared to 1.6 magnitude about 10 days ago. More observations to come.

Tonight, my two friends, Mike Dzubaty, Steve Borer and I finally got to observe comet Neat under totaly clear skies. I was amazed at the size of the comet's head. It was very large and fuzzy. The tail looked to be only about a quarter of a degree long. All three of us were able to glimpse the comet with our naked eyes.

Tonight, I observerd Comet Neat C/2001 Q4 with my 10X50 binoculars. There were high thin clouds when I observed the comet. The comet had a fuzzy look to it, but there was a bright point of light in the center of the comet's head. Because of the clouds, I was not able to see the comets tail. I did glimpse the comet once with just my naked eyes.
