Comet Catalina (C2013 US10) January 2016
Hello forum observers.
Waiting for a peep at Catalina.
Clouded out here in Northern Ca since 1-2-2016 .
Got in some decent views in 13" Coulter on NYE and NYD between 2-4:30 am.
Was within 26arc min of Arcturus,the brightness was interfering with view.
Looked very large and diffuse, almost like a unresolved globular at 78X
Couldn't even catch hint of tail(s) however was irregular in shape.
Was a nice object even in the 80mm finder (off another scope)
Hoping to catch maybe at 4:00 am or so when clear out.
Anyone else drooling in anticipation on this one?
Please share your experience this year with Catalina.
If a Catalina thread is already up, please excuse.
Thanks group.
DSO Dave
