Comet Holmes

Comet Holms is in 'outburst' and visible to the naked eye (or binoculars) at the end of October. I saw this tuesday night (10/30). Naked eye, it looks like an extra bright star in Perseus. Its the one to the lower left in that constellation in the evening. With binoculars it is obviously a fuzzy ball instead of a star. -dbs
