[APML] Visual on C/2001 Q4 (NEAT)...

[astropix@att.net (Geoff Powers)]

 Hello List...

     Yup... it's visible now... by ascending upon the roof of my domicile, I was 
able to catch a fleeting glimpse of this visitor.

     Caught it in my 10X50 binos... maybe 30 seconds before it was lost in the 
trees, about 9:05 PM EDT, from north Atlanta metro.

     It looked like an arrowhead, almost parallel to the horizon, pointed just 
below north. Very bright core, but no discernable tail. 

     Local conditions prohibited a better view... but the nucleus was easily mag 
1.x... approximately as bright as Procyon, Castor and Pollux.

     Get ready, Ye... the time approacheth fast !!!

 Best...   :o)
