earlier, and the moon will be rising later each night. we will probably
be able to see it next week

Comet 45P was a washout this morning from Carefree. The moonlight
made it impossible to see in binoculars.

Seen online:
"A few hours after the eclipse, Comet 45P, which has been visible
after sunset for the past two months through binoculars and
telescopes, makes its closest approach to Earth, when it will be
"only" 7.4 million miles away, NASA said.
"Look to the east around 3 a.m. Saturday morning, where it will be
visible in the sky in the constellation Hercules. Binoculars or a
telescope could be helpful. Watch for a bright blue-green "head"
with a tail.”
Clear skies,
Alex
