For those planning on attending the Thunderbird Starwatch this Saturday,
Comet Swan will be 1 1/2 degrees north of Zeta Herculi (the southwestern
star of the keystone). Should be a Nice change from the usual clusters &
such.

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.
