Lots of comets on view... apparently was created by Seanie_Morris
I was just checking up on
heavens above
(and on Neill's October Sky Guide... 
) to see what's of interest on its site, and they have the following comets listed:
C/2008 A1 McNaught | 85P Boethin | 205P Giacobini | C/2008 J2 Beshore | C/2006 OF2 Broughton | C/2007 N3 Lulin | 19P Borrelly
Most are around mag +10 or +11, quite faint (and one useless to irish astronomers at the moment, McNaught). Has anyone tried looking them up in the night sky recently?

I wonder what is the limit of the mag I could see through the
5'' etx in a dark site like the Burren?
