3 Geminorum

An Observation I did last night and forwarded to the S.P.A occutation Section-
 
27/10/2010:
 
Observed and see this one Emmerse (or Emerge) from behind the dark Limb of the Moon at 23.00 and 59 Seconds U.T sliding gradually into view (Actual 22.59 U.T from Greenwich) seen from my small bedroom window the sky was slightly hazy and was difficult to pick out the Orion Nebula-let alone any deep sky objects, 103/P was being outshone by Moonlight interference and the temperature was cold outside but not freezing and slight heat haze from nearby houses was slightly visible in the Binocular viewer making me refocus the image several times-thankfully this improved later in the night.
 
I used 20X60 Russian Mounted Binoculars.
