Very clear & very cold. The best view of Hale-Bopp yet. It has moved to the opposite side of the summer triangle since I saw it last. Ruth was very impressed. It is now turned at enough of an angle to see the tail.
Noticed Mars, but mistook it for Arcturus. It's MUCH brighter than Arcturus. Haven't had a chance to view it with the scope yet.
