	I saw Halley's Comet Saturday night, using a pair of 11x80
binoculars. As usual it looked like a dim fuzzy spot, superimposed
on some dim stars in the constellation Aries.
	What made it a bit difficult was that it was relatively near
a nearly full moon, which drowns out diffuse object.
	The next time that it should be easy to identify the Comet
is on the evening of November 28th, at about 7 to 8 pm, just before
the moon rises. The comet will be in the Eastern sky very near a
bright star shared by the constellations Aries and Pisces.
	For more details you should consult the map in the November
Sky & Telescope. Remember that the tick marks are midnight GMT,
so 7 PM November 28th will be marked as November 29th.
