(meteorobs) Alert!!! Comet Encke!! (OT for some)
Greetings all....
If you have a clear sky tonight - get out. We have an aurora alert. Try an
Encke alert too!
Comet Encke - according to observers, can be seen at mag. 10 if using low
power. Seems fainter if using higher power. Check out the story at:

Many are seeing it in binoculars.
