It should be visible below the Big Dipper about an hour after sunset.
I finally got a cloud free night last night but the place I selected was still too bright. If it's clear again I'll drive to the boonies tonight.

Comet Ping!...........But no Pong!............... That's ok. Pong was passe a long time ago.
For those too young to know what it was....Pong was the first commercial electronic sports game, as well as the first commercially successful arcade game in 1972.

Great photo.
Does it streak across the sky, or does it appear as in your photo just hovering stationary?

It will look to be relatively stationary. Not like a shooting star.

Wow, what a great picture. Do you mind me asking where you live, and approximately what time that was? Thank you very much for sharing.

NW about 15 deg bove the horizon. Find the big dipper, us the top two stars in the bowl and follow them straight down to the horizon. Use binos as it’s not as bright as they let on

Oh contraire! Haily’s Comet was a very bright comet in 86. Most are much dimmer.
I’ve seen three great comets: West in 75` Hyakutake in 96 and Hale Bopp in 97. They were spectacular. NEOWISE would be 4th in the list then Hailey. The rest were barely naked eye, or, telescope only.

I thought Comet Comet Hyakutake was a better show. It flew by shortly before Hale-Bopp.
