Description

Comet Iwamoto, C/2018 Y1 looks really nice in the scope but is still difficult to find without goto.

Here's what it looked like in the eyepiece of my Explore Scientific 152 with a 2" 32mm eyepiece.

If it keeps brightening the way it has, it could potentially become a pretty good comet.
