It’s *not* only visible on Sunday, but, at the very least, throughout the month. See the maps above.

I looked at it two nights ago. Obvious in large binoculars. Can't miss it if it's in the field of view.

I shot this image below of Comet Lovejoy in early 2015. We'll see what kind of show 46P/Wirtanen puts on.

98x25s.

I’m still waiting to see Kohoutek. All we got from it before was a Journey instrumental piece.

I saw it for a few seconds in the Florida Panhandle.
But due to a thin broken layer, occasional overcast layer, and a bright moon, that was all I got to view it with just my eyes.
