Comet ZTF during a full moon.


 

Easily visible in 10x42 binoculars during a full moon -- provided the
moon is only 5 or so degrees above the horizon. Even showed a slight
asymmetry suggesting a tail.


 

You must be in a darker place than I. I stepped outside last night, moon quite low on the horizon with my 10x50's and even with averted vision had a difficult time in Orleans.

Saw the comet from Berry Side Road in Kanata. In the darker-orange
section of the light pollution map.

Newbie in Nepean here. Think I saw a smudge last night where it was supposed to be (Evolution 8). Backyard was fairly bright.
