Hey ASOD!
I got a visual observation of comet R1 (Lovejoy) this morning.
The coma was big and diffuse with a small (not stellar) false nucleus.
No tail was seen due to moonlight.
Lovejoy was easy to find in my 10 x 50 binos. Info on the sketch!
I have not seen comet Ison yet because of long periods with clouds.
I used graphite pencil on white paper and inverted in color.
I had to use 50x magn. on my telescope, higher magn. did not work much!
Location : Trondheim, Norway.
Best wishes from: Per-Jonny Bremseth.
Per-Jonny,
