Binocular comet Wirtanen - 5.12.2018 at 22.00 - 5.12.2018 at 22.20 Alavus Observation number 79678

Visibility II / V

Jukka Koivisto, Suomenselän Pegasus

There was a clear sky when I left work. In it, I then tuned the equipment to the comet waiting and suddenly the sky pulled into the cloud. In the rain I carried some of the goods inside. From the satellite images, I thought there was a small cloud ferry that should soon pass and that’s what happened. The stuff is back in working order and so that comet is now immortalized. With the naked eye, I didn’t notice but the binoculars showed up as a wide foggy.
