Comet hunting

Conditions:
Clouding over, clear, moderate seeing, first quarter moon

Targets Observed:
Moon, M93

Notes
Only got about 25 minutes of viewing in before some high cumulus cloud built in. Observed the moon, noting especially Copernicus. Viewed the earthshine as well.

Tried looking for Comet C/2003 K4 (LINEAR)which is in Hercules at the moment. Moonlight washed out the sky, so it was hard to find. Ended up looking at M93, the other globular cluster in Hercules.

Lots of sattelites up ther. Had two in the same field of view in binolculars at one point.
