Now that Comet Swan has departed the southern skies, we are fortunate to have another comet in outburst. Comet C/2019 U6 (Lemmon) is a nice telescopic object in Lepus with a condensed inner coma, diffuse outer coma, and a dim and thin tail. I estimated the comet's magnitude at 7.9 last night). The comet is also visible dimly in 8 x 42 binoculars under a dark sky.
I like astronomy, archaeology, photography, music and drinking a lot of tea. I hate politics. Something that annoys me: that I shall not respect the permanence, and to take me by what I'm not. The best sign: VIRGO. The worst: the health. The best: adapt and know how to get ahead.
