Many of us saw the fringe naked-eye comet in Bootes at star parties this past 
weekend.  Now there are reports from the past day that the comet has brightened 
dramatically since then to nearly magnitude 4.0.  It might be clear enough to 
take a shot at it tonight, and it pretty sure to be clear by Wednesday night.

It is located above the "U" of Corona Borealis.
