Steve, Comet Linear is a couple of degrees south of Sirius on the 22nd. Neat 
will be about midway
between M44 and the bowl of the big dipper.

  Arizona Observers;
  I am just starting to get good with a planetarium program and one of the 
skills I don't have yet is how to enter the coordinates and orbit info on a 
comet.  So, my question for those with more skill than I, is.....do I have a 
chance at seeing Comet Linear just after sunset this week?  I am considering a 
trip out on Thursday evening.  

  While we are doing this, will Comet NEAT be near the Big Dipper for this 
weekend....yet another photoop?  KODAK stock is skyrocketing;-))

  Just wondering;
  Steve Coe
