Subject: TAN: Comet Bradfield

A public service announcement:

Comet Bradfield seems to be putting on quite a show in the pre-dawn hours
these days. Check this out:

CC: The comet is right now just south of Andromeda and east of Pegasus. The
ovalish blur at the mid-upper left in the photo is the Andromeda Galaxy (M
31) ... which you might also glimpse before the dawn light starts to show.

Best time to look to the NE will probably be around 4:30 - 5:00 AM. Naked
eye will work, I think.

I'm hoping for relatively clear skies tomorrow morning early for a pre-work
glimpse.
