Re: [APML] OT: Comet Machholz at 9th mag

[Chris Schur <comets133@yahoo.com>]

Thanks Dominic,  The comet will fade according to
megastar to 10th mag at this time next month, so
better get out now to take your last licks at it!  

We all watched yesterday as the coronal hole slowly
ramped up the Kp to 5, then unfortunately, back down
again.  It happened of course in the daytime, I wonder
if anyone saw anything that night?

That sunspot on the sun is outrageous.  Ill try to see
it naked eye during lunch today with my solar filter.

Chris
