Naked eye comet

Yes, and no-one can explain why :) Think I need a binocular or wait for it to get closer

I'll try and remember to find a picture of its location from somewhere :)
 
Here you go. The comet is about magnitude 3 at the moment, so should be an easy catch in suitably dark skies. I still havent see it - its been cloudy here the last few days...

Yah - finally seen it. I can JUST see it with the naked eye, but its an easy catch with binocs - just a small fuzzy patch in the sky.
 
Hope it made Your day :-rofl2

I´ll wait for the return :)
 
Saw it a few days ago, and it is just a fuzzy lump in the North East of the night sky (and a larger fuzzy lump with binoculars)

No tail, since it's on the retreat, and there is no reason why it's status should change - but the original adjustment in magnitude a couple of days ago is still a mystery.

A weird one, if nothng else.
