January Sky Chart to Locate Comet Lulin
Pin me for informational purposes please.

I found an excellent sky picture/chart to help you locate the Green Comet Lulin in the morning sky

This guy has captured it twice now with a regular camera.

Early this morning under the moonlight.

So far he has been the only person I have found to do it without a telescope.

Maybe this can be pinned for a few days to help people locate this strange comet?

Re: January Sky Chart to Locate Comet Lulin
They are not sure what this thing will do, it has quite possibly never been here before. They say it might outburst or any number of other possible scenario at this point. It will move earlier in the morning sky until it is visible in the evening by mid February. This comet is unique in that it has a tail and an anti tail. This comet could end up being a once in a lifetime event.

Nice!

I hope it becomes a real eye opener. I love sights like that. I watched Holmes for a long time. Couldn't keep my eyes off of it.

It is already a neat comet in that it is as green as can be.

I thought Hyakutake was awesome! I hope this one ends up like that.
It's good to be open-minded, just don't let your brain fall out.

Re: January Sky Chart to Locate Comet Lulin
Thanks OP.

McCanney talks about in in his recent broadcast, says there's an electrical alignment with Earth near it's closest approach, and a new moon soon after. It seems to have already made a decent electrical connection with the sun.
