Thanks Patrick! I'll get up bright and early and see what I can get up I. Canyon. BTW, I don't know of you remember me, I work a lot with Yeates and Horst, and have interviewed you many times with those fine gents. My favorite was with you down at the sweet spot in Kannaraville during the eclipse last year. Here's a progression pic of that annular eclipse. I'm sure you were able to get better ones with your gear. https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/410987_10150898455549...

Hi Alan,
Welcome to the group.
Regarding Lovejoy, well, it'll be easier to spot than ISON. :)
I wont rule out spotting it but you'll need to be in a good place with the correct equipment.
This morning it will not be 10 degrees above the horizon until about 0500. Astronomical dark will end a few minutes after 0600.
So that's going to be your window of opportunity.
In order to image down that low in the sky you'll need to be up fairly high. I'm thinking the top of Emigration Canyon.
The comet will be a bit north of due east at 073 degrees azimuth.
As for equipment, being that the comet is pretty dim now you'll probably need a moderate sized telescope and a good CCD camera.
Good luck! And if you get any shots please let us here on the list know where we can see them.

Hello all, I'm a new member. I don't know if this is the proper format for asking this question, or if there's a web based searchable interface for list emails. Can anyone tell me if there's a location that's: 1. dark enough 2. high enough to avoid the inversion, and 3. if it's not too late to get good shots of Lovejoy on the eastern morning sky?
Thanks in advance.

The Quadrantids are due to peak tomorrow (Friday) at 2000 UT. That puts it early afternoon here in Utah but if you're out before sunrise tomorrow you might want to have a look just in case there's something to watch before the peak.
And since the shower is typically spread out over a few days either side of the peak there could be some to see Saturday morning as well.

Looks like the first asteroid discovered this year hit the Earth's atmosphere shortly after it was discovered.
