What time will the comet be visible tonight? I heard on tv not until 11 pm, or so. I thought it was visible not long after sunset. Ken Harris
Ken, It will drop below the horizon at about 11 PM. You can view it as soon as it gets dark enough about 10PM until it sets. It is at an azimuth of about 340 degrees. I took some pictures of it two nights ago and it was visible naked-eye with averted vision but easily seen with binoculars. Hope things are going well for you ken Thanks Rodger C.

I have been seeing it easily naked-eye from my backyard in the middle of the Salt Lake valley on the 14th and 15th. It was too cloudy in that direction last night, will try again tonight. Got a couple of cellphone pics but we can't post attachments to the list. Maybe I can stick one in the SLAS Gallery, does that still exist? Rodger's advice is the best. Start looking twenty minutes after sundown and it will pop into view as soon as it's dark enough. It is very low so you need a good horizon to the NNW. It gets brighter as it gets darker but it gets lower as well, so extinction tends to cancel-out the darkness factor. The dustier the air, the dimmer it gets.

Chuck, you mentioned the SLAS gallery. Forget it and all the encumbrances that come with that group. You are more than welcome to join the Utah Astronomy Club, which has more than 500 members and is a friendly place to discuss astronomy and post photos. Many fellow amateur astrophotographer’s share their pictures there. Just get on FB and ask to join. We have no fees of any kind. By far most who ask are accepted. If you don’t care for FB, within a few days we will have a new non-Facebook site to post photos. The domain and hosting entity already are acquired. Best wishes to you and your wife. — Joe Sent from my iPhone

Joe, thank you for the offer, but it's certainly not important enough to join another club that I currently have no time for. I just wanted to post the image online so others could see what it looks like from my yard. Thanks, C.
