Lulin

Well, Koomps and I just came back inside after looking in the early morning sky for Lulin. Its 10.8 but the windchill is 11 so it felt oddly warm, or rather not so cold. This morning is supposed to be a good time to find the green, backwards comet. We found the big dipper, and then we looked west and south and found saturn and the butt or head of Leo (Im never really sure which side of that constellation is up), but we didnt see the green little icepack. The sky was clear but a tad hazy so whole you could see all of the major stars they were not super intense. We're going to try again tonight (which is supposed to the best time), and Tues morning/night and then I think our window is gone. Tell me if you see it!
