Comet C/2014E2 (Jacques) in August 2014
Interesting imaging opportunities in the evening on Aug 12 as it passes within 50 arcmin of open cluster NGC 1528; quite low though,–only 10⁰ above horizon in the NE. Much better circumstance in the evening of Aug 19-20 as the comet passes through IC1848 and IC1845 (the heart and soul nebula). Astronomical darkness at 9:36pm and third quarter moon rises about 1:12 am. Comet midway between around 10.
