Pojmanski In Cygnus! was created by martinastro
I Observed Pojmanski myself this morning at at 03.15 located between Cygnus and Lacerta. With the 8" at 49X i seen a bright greenish moderately condensed coma with a bright but soft nuclear region. I seen a straight colourless ion tail pointing approx west for at least 30'. I may also have glimpsed one or more gas steamers shooting out from the coma at wide angles to the tail.
The comet still looks nice and the coma is its most distinctive feature. Best seen in a telsecope. Mag: 6.2?, Dia: 3' DC: 6/ This is the 5th morning i have observed this comet. Also had a quick peek at M13, M5, M27, M71, M56, M57, M11 and the Veil Nebula which i tracked for nearly 2* in a ghostly curved line. Lovely clear dark night..seen 22 meteors!

Clear skies!
