Check it out Saturday night. The comet will be near the Beehive cluster (M44) in Cancer. They were in the same field of view in binoculars last night.

Got the Maksutkov out last night and observed LINEAR half way between the paws of Ursa Major. All comets are beautiful but Hale=Bopp this is not.

With binoculars, looks similar to M13.
