For folks lucky to be on IR this week, this would be cool to see from Mt. Ojibway tower.

Re: Comet from IR
For folks going to IR, the comet can be seen in the evening sky after dark. It will be visible in the NW sky below the Big Dipper maybe a hands width above the horizon.

Re: Comet from IR
I viewed it last night from Michigan's north lower peninsula. Perfect viewing, crystal clear, dark sky. Very hard to see with the naked eye. It's nowhere as dramatic as some of the enhanced photos you see all over the place. Still, if you have a telescope or binoculars, it's worth seeing.

Re: Comet from IR
We saw when it was out in the AM and since it's appearance in the evening, we can see it from the front porch. Would love to be on IR!!!treeplanter wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 10:45 am I viewed it last night from Michigan's north lower peninsula. Perfect viewing, crystal clear, dark sky.
