Just an off-topic note to say that under mediocre conditions (at best!) this morning (June 28) I was able to observe Comet C/2001 A2 (LINEAR) with my 10x50s between 9:30 and 9:55 UTC. I'm not sure of the magnitude, but once I got away from the worst city light, it was pretty easy to see just north of eta Ceti. This is from 30 degrees north. There are a couple of more mornings when the Moon will set early enough for those at the right latitudes (i.e., not too far north). Here's a link to the Minor Planet Center's daily ephemeris for this comet: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/2001A2_1.html Plan to observe some satellites soon!
