Comet hunting  
Have any of my flisties been comet hunting lately? For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, Comet PannSTARRS is still visible on the western horizon. It's best visible about 45 minutes to an hour after sunset. Best seen through a pair of binoculars, to the naked eye it just looks like a fuzzy star.
