I'm not saying it's Santa Claus.

 

 

But it's Santa Claus.

I prefer the Crystal Beach version.

Well, one of the reindeer is named Comet.

Not even worrying about seeing it. Have seen the sun maybe once in the last two weeks.

I've tried to spot it the last two nights, with no success.

I am an astronomy hobbyist, so I know where to look, but this is a weak comet.

It's a light on the sewage treatment plant.

We had clear skies here last night so I went out and looked with binoculars, but couldn't see it. I know my way around the constellations too - it should have been about halfway between the Pleiades and Aldebaran.

That's where I've been looking as well, using Aldebaran as reference.

I'll give it one more try tonight, but so far, no luck.

I thought Alderann was destroyed by the Empire.

That’s no moon.

I have a bad feeling about this.
