*Wow, what a lucky break for the good folks "Down Under."
Friday, July 15 - For our friends in Australia comes one incredible event... Tonight the Moon will occult Comet 9/P Tempel 1. For more information on this event, please visit the IOTA webpages for times and locations. We wish you the very best of skies!
Will need a small 'scope at least to see the comet (magnitude aprox 9.5 now); perhaps even strong binoculars will do.

Moon will be growing (phase 0.59), so disappearance
occurs behind the dark limb.
