Wouldn't you know, clouded out here in eastern Massachusetts. Fortunately,
Comets should "hang around" for a time.

Hello List,
This bodes great (in a Titian-Bodean sense) for tonight in Europe and
North America. I put a finder chart up for this evening at:
www.diogenite.com/17P.jpg
This is the show in Europe right now...and should print well to an A4 or
letter sized piece of paper.
A new "star" was just born for those familiar with the neighborhood of
Algol and Capella. The best time will be as the moon gets lower just
before the glow of Sunrise, and the comet will be half way to the Zenith
due NW (and the chart will still be fine upside down in the Northern
hemisphere). Mars will brightly shine 16 times brighter overhead in
Gemini. Nearby is Capella, the 6th largest star and 6th brightest starry
object in the sky (Called Colca by the Aymara for a cache of food - which
ancient Greeks believed was the horn of plenty "Cornucopia", and the name
of the famous Valley/Canyon of Condors by Arequipa, Peru) is nearby.
Moon or not, it's so bright you can still get a fine view after Sunset if
you don't mind the interference from that big Lunar up there. Tonight's
the night!! The location on the finder chart is similar for the next week
(heading toward Mirphak, just a tad), since the comet is very far away
from Earth with respect to noticable relative motion.
Best wishes for a long night,
Doug
