(SNES) Comet Neat 2002/V1

["Les Coleman" <les11@cox.net>]

Hi Everyone

Tonight and tommrow night shortly after sunset we should be able to see Comet Neat 2002/V1
as a 4th/5th magnitude object slightly north of where the sun set on the horizon (250
degress - SW)  about 24 degrees above the horizon. It will drop roughly 11 degrees an hour
and will set about 7:15. It will set at 273 degrees (just north of due west).

If you draw an imaginary line across the Great Square of Pegasys from Alpheratz (Alpha And)
diagonally through Markab (Alpha Peg) and continue for the same distance you will come to a
third magnitude star Sadalmelik (Alpha Aqr). The comet
is along this line about a 1/3 of the way back towards Markab.

Hope everyone gets a chance to see this fairly bright comet. Don't wait until better warmer
weather, it is moving more than a degree per day towards the sun and will be soon lost to
the glare.
