Christmas Comet.....

Gareth from Waikanae

In case any one is interested you may get a look at Comet Leonard (The Christmas Comet) with Binoculars or a telescope in the next few weeks. It's not been seen for thousands of years — and will never be seen again.
Gotta be worth a look to see if you can see it.

FYI..
Visually comets rarely look like all the photos that you see of them with a huge tail (as a time exposure was used), sometimes there is a tail visible but they usually look like a green fuzzy blob. Don't be disappointed if a green blob is all you see.... at least you will be one of the few people who actually saw it with your own eyes. :-}
