The above sketch shows the full-field view I had of Comet Lulin last night with 25x100 binoculars. Comet Lulin was easily visible to my unaided eyes from my dark-sky (Naked Eye Limiting Magnitude 6.5), rural location. North is up and east is to the left in the sketch. The field of view is approximately 2.3 degrees. From a dark sky any pair of binoculars will provide a pleasant view of Comet Lulin.
I've been observing this comet for a while now, but this is obviously my first blog entry on our latest celestial visitor. There's just so much to do these days . . .
