Finally saw this comet today. Its below the Moon. Ran all around town again trying to see the comet low in the horizon. Finally saw it in binos at 8PM at the local elementary school, just above the trees. Then saw it 8:20 a few blocks from home but I had to stand in the street and move when cars came. Hard to see unless you have binos and know where to look and have good horizon view. This was about the 3rd nite I tried to find it. Any other sightings?
So the moon is getting higher every nite. And the comet is low and moving a little right of the moon every nite. Start looking about 30 min after sunset and keep in mind the comet is above the sun. So if you can see sunset you are good. So look about 3 fist widths at arms length down from the moon and maybe 2 fist widths to the right maybe 5 to 10 degree high in other words on the horizon
Thanks- the prospects for tonight aren't looking good- it's snowing now! Hopefully the comet is in google skymap app for my tablet- that makes it very easy to find!
^^^I have to try that app I have skymap for years very old version, before laptops let alone ipad. Yes no comet for us until next week sometime looks like...I joined the local astronomy club becuase they had a skywatch tonite but it was cancelled.
