Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1
in the Evening sky
June 14, 2014

 
 This
            14th magnitude comet shows only a symentrical appearance as it
            rises low in the evening sky on the west side of Scorpius. Composed
            of purely dust, there is no color to this object but the star
            field has some reds and yellows.
