I may drive out to Ivins UT to have a look in my 15 X 70 binoculars tonight. It is still a mag 5.5 comet now. I'll give a report when I get back tonight. Debbie

I am reading reports that this comet is easy to find with binoculars (and telescopes of course).

Looks like its orbit will place it at very high declinations. Should be a nice treat this holiday season (maybe try your new scope you are getting for x-mas?)
