(meteorobs) Moses parted the clouds.....
The sky cleared over central Ohio for about 12 hours, giving me a
look at comet Hale-Bopp this morning, Feb 13. It has brightened
noticeably since last I was able to see it on the 3rd. It is also
obviously a comet to the naked eye where it took more averted vision
last time. It was not quite as bright as Altair.
As I peered appreciatively at the comet, a dim +4.0, white meteor
flashed south and west of Altair.
2 hours later it was cloudy...............
I shall the numbers to those
who have more fingers and toes,
