Subject: Comet Hale-BoppDate: 1997 19 Feb.Time: 11:22 UTCLocation:40.45N 82.31W (Nankin, Ohio USA)Limiting Magnitude: 3 to .5 (lousy! high clouds. defused star light.)Instrument: 6" Newtonian f/8 (Celestron Star Hopper)The comet is coming along nicely. I had observed it a few days ago, the time before that wasseveral weeks ago. As with a few days ago, 16 Feb. there seemed to be more "jetting" to theSouth and the tale was more pronounced on that side. Today I am only able to see about .5deg. of tale. Because of the limited seeing conditions getting a good magnitude reading isdifficult so none was attempted. Personal note, I can't wait till we have some decent seeing conditions again, this cloud stuffis getting old, REAL QUICK!Mark S. Worstallccoiadl@bright.net
