Awesome! I’m a lurker on APOD, but I ever miss them.

The comet was almost due west, and in fact passed the due west point within a few minutes of photo, so we need only look for a vantage point to the east. Note that most of the Google images are from a western view, showing the castle in the late afternoon sun.

As luck would have it, Google 3d buildings includes the castle, and everything lines up nicely from the POV of a ridge in the foreground of the Google Earth screen shot below, which includes a line of sight with bearing indicated. So, if this isn't the spot, it ought to be!

I added the zoom-in along the same line of sight which corresponds very well with the APOD. If you are inclined to nitpick, just try it!

The comet could be seen over Disney World? Who Knew?

(joke...just in case anyone thinks I didn’t read the article...hahaha)
