Er.. thanks, HTL. (If I wrote Holder of the Two Leashes every time, my posts would get trashed for wasting bandwidth.) When you referred to loads of observatories, I sort of anticipated a CometCam live picture. Ephemera are nice, but not very sexy. My bad. I'm one of the very few people who could even get a little excited over watching raw positional information pouring in. Here is one real picture: Sky and Telescope I'm pretty sure just about every other pic of 2008 TC3 looks like that at this point. In a couple of hours, we may be getting some much more spectacular shots. A lot of people will shorten my title to "Holder", and I'll answer to that. The dogs don't mind, either. Actually, they don't have a clue. |
