73P Unobserved
This morning the skies were clear! But could I see 73P? No way. This might have been something to do with the waning Moon being a mere 8 degrees away. But even in binoculars, where I could see down to magnitude 6.5 with no troubles, and 7.5 with averted vision, I still couldn't see them. This is most likely due to my eyesight, I have big problems with faint extended sources, so Maybe when the Moon is less of a problem I will have better luck.
