So wanted to see this comet but the ****ing weather is so ****.

Hate England so much. :mad:

Yeah nothing but clouds for bloody months now. :mad:

It was clear here for a couple of hours before, first time I've seen the stars in over a month.
 
Had a good hour out last night with the bins, even caught The Andromeda Galaxy.

The part of the sky with me in the pic was a big cloudy but the other side was totally clear.

alpha(α) beta(β) gamma(γ) and delta(δ), i am seeing them but have no idea what are they, stars i guess ?

Stars in constellations are each given letters of the greek alphabet in order of their apparent brightness. The brightest star is labeled alpha, second brightest beta etc.

(They are not the names of the stars, just labels of brightness basically)

Get out looking for the comet, really easy to find if you have a good view of the horizon,
