I'm pretty sure we saw the Green Comet, C2022/C3. We used Stellarium https://stellarium.org to find its approximate location (in the night sky near Mars) and used the telescope to find it. It was faint, but with a greenish tint.
We also used Celestron astronomical binoculars to look at objects in the night sky. Between the telescope, our eyes and binoculars, we looked at:
- C2022/C3 (we think)
- Mars
- A star nebula west of Orion
- Aldebaran
- Cassiopeia
- Orion
- Several aircraft flying overhead
The sky was very clear and it was a great night to use the telescope.
