Comet PanSTARRS visible in Northern Hemisphere

[marcy]

For those of you interested in seeing a comet there is a comet visible right now in the northern hemisphere. Look for it about 30 to 40 minutes after sunset. Try to find an unobstructed western horizon with as few as possible lights when trying to find the comet. Binoculars may help you locate it. It may be bright enough to see with the naked eye but it depends on your viewing location. The best nights to try are on the 12th or 13th when it is near a thin crescent moon.
