Almost constant wind and rain, and the comet's low elevation have made seeing it - well, a "challenge" shall we say! I managed 3 glimpses of it tho, all reported on the "Cumbrian Sky" blog, and my final glimpse - actually in the rain - inspired my latest astronomical poem, which you can find at: http://journals.aol.com/stuartatk/TheVerse/entries/2007/01/12/a-comet-tale/677 Now been trying for THREE DAYS to spot the comet in daylight, but the clouds just won't part...
