Comet C/2012 X1 Linear
October 28 Very nice Sunset
November 1
Beautiful Moon caught rising just over mountains at 5:15 in front yard. Above photo was taken later after it had risen quite a bit.
Used 12x50 binoculars on photo tripod and found new Comet C/2012 X1 Linear. This comet had an unexpected brightening recently and was easy to spot this morning in binoculars above roof of house across street.
Prior to that, between 4 and 5 viewed Orion nebula, Mars, and Comet Lovejoy. It was about 47 degrees Fahrenheit coldest day this fall.
EDIT: Found out it was M3 NOT!!! c/2012 x1 linear. Looked again the next morning and clearly identified the star field which a few degrees to the right of M3. C'est la vie!
