Is there going to be a Comet visible tonight?

[kfd82]

My wife said someone at the Scout meeting was talking about a comet that was going to be in the western sky around 7:30 tonight.
Anyone have any info?

Supposed to be low in the western sky as the sun goes down.

Depends on how many of those cheap beers you drink after work

I figured you saw one in the parking lot Friday night, Frank!

I saw lots of stars.


Just saw BillM's thread on this. I'll try to catch a glimpse of it tonight and tomorrow night.

We can see it now put our motel window in San Antonio. I think anyway

Thanks jerp, that makes it much easier. I'm going to Palo Duro Canyon SP this weekend and bet I can see it out there.
