I located the comet last night (Sunday) about 6:45 to 6:50. The kids wanted
to see "a comet: again, but I wasn't sure if it'd be visible or not. About
6:30 or so, I started scanning for it alternately between by binoculars and
my scope. I found it quite a bit higher than I expected. I was able to
watch it for at least 30 minutes or so before I lost it behind a palm tree.
I suppose if you still wanna see this guy you should have a couple more
days, if you can find a location with a low horizon line, or look down the
street or something. I was surprised, even as low as it is, with the glow
of the horizon you can still see a little tail.
