It’s getting dimmer, but still there once your eyes adjust to the darkness. Binoculars recommended...

Great stuff if you live in a high latitude.

Again a pisspoor piece of writing. When is “after sunset” across the country? The Big Dipper is oriented towards the North on the East Coast about 9:00 PM onward but there is no comet so far. We need to know if it can be seen earlier in each time zone and how high above the horizon using the old extended arm to a 45 degree (half way towards the top of the sky at 90 degrees arc, and then how far below 45 degrees we should look).

I saw the comet with binoculars last night. Used the lower left corner star of the Big Dipper as the reference point and slowly descended to the horizon until I found it. Of course with light pollution not as spectacular as the photos being posted online.

I’m still batting zero. Tried again last night, 20 miles to drive, too cloudy to see it. Did get a couple of cool sunset shots...

The android app called "Star Walk 2" ($2.99) showed 9 comets in the same general area! There are free apps that will show the stars. Our solar system has been described as a shooting gallery with all the asteroids and comets. I believe it.
