There's a bright comet in our nighttime sky at the moment. Comet 17P/Holmes is quite bright and easily visible without a telescope as a fuzzy object in the night time sky. So if you can get out of the city and take a look, there's a finder chart below for the next couple of nights (comet slowly move from night to night.) For those of you who can't get out of town, I've also thrown in the picture I took of the comet last night through my trusty telescope.

Here's the finder chart.

Here's a photo. 122 seconds with a Nikon D50 through a Skywatcher MAK127 from the Wilson Coulee Observatory. Click on the photo for a larger picture.
