The comet passed perihelion I believe yesterday so if you are
interested in seeing it do it soon. I have not had the chance to see
it yet but all reports say it's a beauty with an upwards pointing
tail. Naked eye under real dark skies and an easy binocular object
otherwise. www.skyandtelescope.com has good finder charts...
