02.00 Hours U.T 5/3/2009:
Now looking at Comet Lulin just underneath M44 Praesepe and its small diffuse tail pointing away to the South South West and its Nebulous Coma Occulting a small star (possibly Magnitude 8) in the Constellation of cancer with the just past first quarter bright Moon almost outshining it, if it wasn't for M44 Praesepe I don't think I would have found this Comet, quite difficult to pick out due to the brightness of Moonlight and a hunch I have that it has faded slightly as predicted and will probably continue to do so now it is moving away from the Earth as well as the Sun.....
