2.  COMET SWAN ON VIEW
 
Hundreds of people came to our Comet Watches in Dublin and around the country. Sorry for the short notice but the comet only surged in brightness last week. A report will appear on www.astronomy.ie soon.
 
The November issue of our magazine sold out so we're going to put the comet article online for FREE at www.astronomy.ie/cometSWANarticle.pdf
 
Here is a star map showing the comet's position each night for the coming week to keep you going in the meantime. More soon.

Note the comet's position relative to the star Vega and the constellation Hercules, both high in the West after sunset until late.
