I am, Pete. But that big fat moon is going to cramp my style a bit.

My scope is already set up in my yard. I'm looking to make a composite image of Comet Atlas as it continues to brighten over the coming weeks. If it survives perihelion, it's projected to get brighter than Venus.

It appears that Comet Atlas might be falling apart. See the story on Space Weather.
