Travis, The comet you are referring to is Comet Lulin. It can be seen in the southeastern sky after sunset with binoculars or a small powered telescope. Here is a link that shows where and when to look. Remember to scroll down the page to get to the drawing that shows the comet's position in the sky. 9:00 p.m is a good time to see it. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/highlights/35992534.html You and anyone else who is interested, are welcome to come up here on the mountain to see the comet from our place. We have a good view of the sky.
