    Thanks Baldrick for the heads up.

    "When is the best time to see it?
    If you're a keen stargazer, the most important date to put in your calender to be able to see the comet is April 21."

    I'm out Sandy Hollow way this weekend so that's probably my best chance on Saturday night (April 20th) without city lights and probably cloudy weather.
    I wonder how it would look from Mt Sugarloaf? I'm not sure what time they shut that gate though. Lock your wheels up when you go up to the lookout ��

    I just checked my Stellarium app. It's showing it at about 10 O'Clock form Jupiter.

    Another reason possible comet sighting this weekend, though the weather forecast looks terrible
