This is what I love about HN!!!

Maybe I've been living under a rock but until this thread I hadn't even heard of this comet. But it's 4:50AM, I live on a house on top of a hill with excellent visibility to the East and I have binoculars. Just need to stay awake long enough wait for it to rise above the trees and hopefully the light pollution 10 miles away won't be an issue!

did you have any luck? i found that it was too faint for my 72mm telescope.

No, by the time it was high enough, there was too much light from the interstate and probably early morning twilight. I'll try again in a few days when it's darker outside and the comet is supposed to be brighter then. I'm up at 6AM weekdays anyway.
