Anyone been able to see NEOWISE?

[Bailey Guns]

I was out looking this morning since I was up anyway. Couldn't find it. Not sure I have a clear enough view of the NE horizon thru my neighbor's house/barn.

Yeah, I want to see it even though the GF said it wasn't much to look at.

Still talking about the comet?

Bright comet Neowise coming to an evening sky near you: How to catch it

The best time to view the comet from the surface of Earth is currently shifting from the early morning hours to the evening.

According to NASA solar system ambassador Eddie Irizarry, it'll start to be visible in the evening around July 15-16. It should be a little easier to see during the second half of July when it's higher in the sky.

Right now, the advice being shared by many of those who have successfully spotted the comet is to first locate it in the sky using binoculars or a telescope. Once you've found it and its trademark split tail, you should be able to then track it with the naked eye.

Is your SCWHARTZ bigger than my SCWHARTZ ?

It sure isn't a Hale-Bopp event, sorta a snap pop of comets.

Every morning and evening sky has been cloud covered at my place since the Fourth. I have been looking for the comet with no luck. Guess monsoon season does that.

Went out last night about 10:30 to look for NEOWISE. Once I got away from town I could see it as I was driving, but only in my peripheral vision. It was very faint. Looking directly at it took more time to find it. Once I stopped and looked at it thru the binos it was pretty fantastic. The tail must be millions of miles long, stretching across probably 10 deg of sky.

From my location it's almost due NW and about 10 to 15 deg above the horizon. When I got back home I could see it from my front porch, but just barely. It's just to the left of a streetlight across the street and the light washes out most of the sky. But once I knew where to look I could see it.

I think this is the 3rd comet I've seen. Haley's, Hale-Bopp and this one. Very cool. Worth taking a look if you have time.

Saw it from Taylor Reservoir last week. It was visible from like 0400-0430. Butt cold up there, all our water froze every night. Couldn’t capture it with my crappy cell phone camera while shivering ��
