8: Maps 2020, comet C/2020 F8 Swan

In 2020 later the same year we got another news about a new comet, the comet C/2020 F8 Swan.

You find more information about the comet here:

• http://www.aerith.net/ comet/ catalog/ 2020F8/ 2020F8.html (Seiichi Yoshida's homepage)

I prepare some new star charts, maybe better luck this time:

Here are two maps with the comets position from May 15, 2020, the time is 10 pm, earlier it isn't very dark. You can print them to bring with you. The location is Sweden.

Or the Black & White version which is better in the dark if you print it out.

Maybe late May will be best. Later the sky will be brighter and it's not dark enough (in Stockholm, Sweden at latitude 60 degrees). Try to find a hill with a clear view to the Northern direction without disturbing lights. Bring warm clothes with you, it's cold at night !

We have a relative dark sky from 10:30 pm to 03:00 am and the Moon is down.

Ii I get some photos I publish them on my homepage later.
