Coming along nicely, after perihelion next week Lemmon may be better placed for observing as it passes through the same part of the sky as Mars, though slightly fainter.

Next Tuesday may be the only evening it is visible in the UK. The weather for the rest of the week is not good.

I saw Lemmon briefly last night. Exceptionally easy with binoculars. Just a fraction to the left of Izar (Epsilon Bootis) It may have been naked eye visibility but one of the houses along the row had left their outside light on so no chance of seeing it without binocs.

Good views of Lemmon tonight through binocs. Its moved a fair bit since Thurs night.
