It's going to be visible here :)
My little telsecope should be sufficient, only I need to go to somewhere with darker sky.

Very interesting, AA. Thanks for posting. I will try to see it.

The last comet I saw was Hayley’s. Viewing it on two different nights and seeing its position change relative to the background stars gave me a real gut-based perception of the universe.

Hope I can see it and the mountains don’t block the view if it’s low in the sky.
It’s dark enough here for good star gazing.
