As in Jamau (11/12 & 11/13), the comet has lost its wildly dynamic ion tail. However, in 10x50 binoculars it's size is increased noticeaboy ("big fuzzball") & you can discern the nucleus (!).
Saw a nice Leonid mag 1 meteor @12:45am which left a persistent trail (Leo was 10 deg up in the east).
Night was balmy, around 65 deg, I was practically in short sleeves. Reminds me of the Leonid Metoer Shower in '98 (where I observed from this location). Arrived here @10pm pretty exhausted & spent the whole night photographing until dawn.

I know this part of the Anza-Borrego desert well and camp in the area often. You have a GREAT looking rig there! I wish i could have joined you!! Can you tell me a little about the satellite connection? Looks really interesting. Thanks! -Florian (stargazing.com)
