Comet Holmes Orbital Parameters
An excellent animation of this amazing comet. The best viewing conditions for quite a while last night showed it has moved a little. The almost perfect isosceles triangle in Perseus is now a tad misshapen. The comet also is slightly fainter but still impressive. Visually I can't see a tail but my ten year old charge could detect something; but then he saw the comet without being told where it is exactly, and M31, seven stars in M45! Ah the eyesight of youth.....
