Our weekend game went well. We are trying something new, and so far, we are really enjoying it! #ttrpg #13p #scifi

If we get some clear nights in soon, Comet 13P Olbers is a nice target for smaller telescopes as it could be near +7th magnitude when it reaches its closest point to the sun (perihelion) on June 30th. The comet has been making the 69-year circuit for millions of years with an orbit that takes it way past the orbit of Neptune. It should be easier to find on July 5th when it passes near the +4th magnitude star 10 Ursae Majoris.

Comet 12P is no longer observable here, so next on the list is… #Comet #13P Olbers, here seen very faintly above and right of the 5.3% illuminated moon (on a sky which, though light polluted, notably does not resemble a 5800 K black body)
