To me, that is the essence of a good astronomer (and a lot more commitment than I have ever been able to muster!).<BR/><BR/>I was on a solar eclipse trip in Baja California in 1991 when I met David Levy. We were talking after dinner one evening and I asked him how he discovers comets. He told a very similar story to yours - a lot of time at the eyepiece, a lot of time searching, a lot of concentration looking for that little light that is somehow out of place. <BR/><BR/>David Levy hit a lot of jackpots in his time. Good luck with your search.The Urban Astronomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08832236005805705235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028287563520537999.post-30621434234164300012009-02-28T12:32:00.000-05:002009-02-28T12:32:00.000-05:00Never give up, never surrender!
