At 3.2 magnitude it should be naked-eye now, but being so low in the sky will make it a real challenge. Comets are notorious for having very low surface...
I looked for it Wednesday night and came up bust. I knew I had to be looking right at it because it was near the tail of Canis Major, but I think there was too...
It'll be near impossible to spot naked-eye under light-polluted skies. I find it to have about the same surface brightness as M 31. Add light-pollution to...
From my semi-dark site south of the great DC nebula, NEAT was very easy to find (w/binos) Thursday after sunset--even with considerable high haze brightening...
