You need to start looking west at 630-45ish. By 715 it should be easily visible. By 8-830 it will be below the horizon (too low to see).

Ah. Thanks!

Hello! I love photography as well! I was just outside doing a "Family" photo shoot of my animals, I would show you but havn't loaded them off my camera, here are some things I've done before though:

I'm clouded up tonight. Hopefully yall get some more comet shots. Once it leaves, it won't be back around for another 80,000 years...

I keep forgetting about it! How long will it hang around?

If you want to see it naked eye or with binoculars, I would definitely try and catch it tomorrow or the next couple days. It's getting dimmer every day. With a long exposure camera you should be able to photograph it for the rest of the month.

I got some unfortunate news. It appears that while I was out viewing the comet tonight, my telescopes electronic mount actually failed. I heard a loud crack come from inside the mount, and now there’s a problem with the alt axis.

This was the picture I took before the failure took place.

I got the anti tail! That thin little light line just below the head of the comet. That's sunlight illuminating the dust along the path the comet has traveled as it moves away from the sun.

Nice! I saw some images on astrobin with the trail in front of the comet but I didn't know what it was. 300mm or less?
