While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

I don't see too many accounts of Comet LINEAR, especially images. However, see
<http://www.cometlinear.com/> for some pretty recent images and other info. I was able to find it
easily tonight in my 10x80 binocs. That's an improvement over two nights ago. It definitely has a
tail, which extends upwards. Unfortunately, I didn't start looking early enough or I could have
gotten some CCD images. By the time I started, it was below the roof line of my house. Maybe Sunday
night when I'm able to get to this again. Most estimates are around 7.5 mag but there's hope it may
get to 4.5.
