    Okay, so those evening clouds did not "disperse" much last evening. 
    Luka, Jeff and I searched (again) for the elusive comet, with no luck.  At one point I was certain that I had spotted it, tail and all, but then Jeff informed me that the tail had numbers on it, as well as a little US flag ???
    That's what I get for living so close to the airport…
    We did have a good discussion about eye pieces, including a fantastic look at Jupiter through Jeff's 6.7mm ES.  Despite the clouds, the atmoshere seemed settled, providing a clear look at Jupiter and its major moons. Last night also gave me a chance to try out my new 9×50 finder scope.  Dean, you were right, it makes a world of difference.  I'm already looking forward to the next night of gazing.
