Might not want to be lazy and wait for the next time it comes around.

Anyone spied this yet? I imagine it will be tough in the city without a good telescope, but if you're out in the boonies, it should be visible just before dawn in the northeast sky with binoculars or possibly even with the naked eye.

My buddy who's into telescopes has been seeing it. He took this on Tuesday night. It was looking like it was developing a 2nd tail.

Yeah, he lives in Fountain Hills. That was in his yard with a telescope. Same guy was doing the image processing on some of the Webb Telescope data that I had been posting in its thread.

Saw it for a bit with an 8" S-C telescope
Kinda underwhelming to be honest, but I'm busy the next time it comes around.

That's kind of how I felt about Haley's Comet when it came by back in the mid-80's.
