If the sky remains as clear as it is here in Avonpot now, its will be a =
good chance to see Comet PanSTARRS just above the NorthWest horizon.  It =
looked quite exciting last evening before the Moonrose.  The best window =
of visibility is between 8:45 and 9:30 p.m.. It is near the horizon . =
Must be an unobstructed NW horizon, without bright lights; a must. ALSO =
a pair of nicely focused binoculars. Once you know where it is , when =
the sky darkens a bit you can pick it out with the unaided eye.  I =
stress again a clear, dark NW horizon, unobstructed from lights, tall =
buildings and trees. This is important. Use binoculars.

To aid in locating the comet, I made a diagram  that can be accessed in =
my Dropbox at the link that follows. You are free to download and print.

Over the next few nights it moves closer to the Andromeda Galaxy, shown =
in my diagram. It too can be seen in binoculars.
www.spaceweather.com gives more information. or just PanSSTARRS in =
Google.
