    Where are you? Did you have clear skies?

    This is the path you will see it take, so get out there and have a closer look! It should be visible all week. Do you have binoculars? It's quite a dim comet.

    As Capuchin says, it is not a bright object and it will look more like a smudge of light than a point of light.
