Comet Maccholz approaches the Pleiades

Wish I could wait a couple of days from now when the two are closer, but
the weather is predicted to be pretty bad for the rest of the week.

The comet is getting higher and brighter in the sky.

i was hoping you would get a chance to post a photo of the comet - it has been too overcast in the uk for me to get a sight of it yet. :)

Sorry, Bryan. New York addled my brain.
