Caught a tweet from @mattjones yesterday pointing to a great post on his blog that shows you how to configure Stellarium to allow you to follow comet Lulin.  Comets are unpredictable objects and so we can’t expect Stellarium to predict their course through the solar system; especially the one’s we’ve never seen before!

I’ve often wondered if Stellarium could be configured to help track comets but never looked into it; now I know how   Just need the clouds to part and then we’ll see if it really works.  Failing that, here’s an animated gif tweeted by @astrophoto.

Until the next post… Clear Skies!
