I've put some finder charts up on my Cumbrian Sky blog, if anyone fancies trying to track down/photograph Comet Hartley...

Comet Hartley was very easy to see in 20x80 binoculars this evening, even in my relatively light-polluted skies 20 miles from Washington DC. As a fuzzy 'star,' it was easy to discern even in the crowded star field around the Double Cluster in Perseus.

The comet moved from constellation Cassiopeia into Perseus and will have past the constellations Auriga & Gemini to be visible in constellation Canis Minor during the flyby on 4th November 2010...
