I suppose its no harm to add about this comet, being visible from Ireland. Has anyone had a go at looking for it yet? Your window of opportunity is very short! This chart shows the expected path of Comet Pojmanski's position, seen in pre-dawn skies over the dates shown. At the time of print, it has appeared as just visible…

This chart shows the expected path of Comet Pojmanski's position, seen in pre-dawn skies over the dates shown. At the time of print, it has appeared as just visible to the naked eye from a very good dark sight, but is expected to reach Magnitude 5, appearing as a small fuzzy star (no tail). Binoculars will show this more clearly.
