Comet Lulin has now been added to my list of astronomy
binocular objects. Last night, just before midnight, I stepped out on the patio with my
Nikon 10x70 Astroluxe binocular and scanned a couple of degrees to the right and bit below Saturn. Comet Lulin appeared much as I expected - a small faint fuzzy with low surface brightness. Reminded me of our recent Comet 17/P Holmes in its days of waning brightness. Could not detect a tail on Comet Lulin, but it was bright enough, in my opinion, to be seen in a smaller binocular by an experienced observer, so you might want to try it with a good
birding binocular or
hunting binocular. Some folks tell me they are seeing a bit more in a large
telescope, so I'll try that next.
