Tonight was the first time in a few weeks that conditions were good at my backyard.viewed vega tonight at high power and through my scope the star looked like a fireball surrounded by green flares even though I'm sure that this was just an illusion created by the optics it was an awesome sight.

This is about the Utsunomiya Comet that was by Vega.This is my first observation of a dim comet, so the best I can do is say that it was a rather oblong fuzzball that had a tail only after you stared at it for a while. I used a 40mm eyepiece. 6.5 mag. skies.
