Details:
After the sunset, yesterday evening, I finally managed to observe and capture the little comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova paired together with a wonderful earthshine on the crescent moon.
Through binoculars the comet coma appears green and diffused, but easily recognizable in the twilight, but without any tail. Today I'll try again with my telescope. The comet magnitude is estimated on the value of +7.5.
The Earthshined Moon instead is always a wonder to see, especially in the crisp clear winter sky!
