The link in the APOD "Quickly setting comet" will bring up Comet NEAT's Daily Ephemeris.

Location is given by Right Ascension and Declination. This system functions much like Longitude and Latitude do for finding locations on Earth.

Thought this may interest you. This is my first attempt at photographing the planet Saturn using a Schmidtt Cassegrain Meade LX-200, eyepiece projection using an MA 25mm eyepiece and a tele-extender, Fuji 400 1.5 second exposure, taken with an Olympus OM-1 camera.

I know, it's out of focus. Focusing is critical and my next shots should show surface or atmospheric gas/cloud bands. I am currently experimenting with different types of focusing techniques.
