[meteorite-list] The geologist on the moon and Comet SWAN

[MexicoDoug]

Great job Bjorn!  The first two pictures (the most important ones, I think)
seem to be broken links and aren't showing for me.  It's easy to be envious
of your northern location after hauling my camera out 7 days straight
including last night and this morning with nothing but horizon haze and
clouds.  The way I figure it the further southern latitudes (N33 - N25) will
have the best opportunity very close to the evening of October 16, when the
comet will be a good brightness fraction of what it is now, not too diffuse,
but after which the Comet will start dimming more rapidly (0.1 mag loss
daily throughout November).

Here's a nice picture of Rob's Comet you can feast your eyes on taken by a
dedicated astronomer near Buffalo, NY...he'll also sells prints.  Rob's
Comet is very green and this can be noted in the photo.  It is a very pretty
shot considering Tom Bakowski took it on October 2 and it was so low in the
sky (7 degrees), and moisture was evaporating off nearby Lake Erie:

List,
Just ran out last night with my camera when I read about
the comet on another list.
Had to go to another place because of the bad horizon.
Here's a page I made. Could be also helpful in locating it.
Congratulations to Rob Matson!
