My 16 year old tried to see it early this AM but it was too low and sun was coming up. We may go early tomorrow AM to the airport parking garage top deck to see if we can get a better glimpse.

“It’s going to be about 5 degrees above the north/northwestern horizon starting Sunday evening at about twilight.”

For those at what latitude?

Last week I tried to see the comet before dawn above the northeast horizon, and each time I tried there were just enough low clouds to obscure it. Hopefully I’ll have better luck in the dusk sky this coming week.

I saw a beautiful photo today of the comet above the Colorado National Monument. Amazing.

It may be Northeast now and switch to Northwest.
Unfortunately there are too many buildings and trees in my way.

When and where to look in the morning

As a morning object, the comet’s best views will come during a three-day stretch on the mornings of July 11, 12 and 13, when it will stand 10 degrees above the northeast horizon, 80 minutes before sunrise — the beginning of nautical twilight. Your clenched fist held at arm’s length measures approximately 10 degrees in width. So, on these three mornings, the head of Comet NEOWISE will appear about “one fist” up from the northeast horizon.

-snip.

The first good opportunity for evening viewing begins on July 12, when the head of the comet will stand 5 degrees above the north-northwest horizon, 80 minutes after sunset (the end of nautical twilight). By July 14 its altitude will have already doubled to 10 degrees, and by July 19 it will have doubled yet again to 20 degrees up by the end of nautical twilight. By then it will have moved to above the northwest horizon.

So, we at Space.com feel that the best time to view the comet during the evening will come during the July 14-19 time frame.
