I forgot to mention this is a crop from the original.

Thanks, I've been waiting for at least mostly clear skies since Mar 11. Finally last night an opening. It's low on the horizon so flatland is the best viewing area. But, it's right in the west so light from the setting sun diminishes the impact. Picked it up in the sky around 8:40pm Mountain Time. Looks good through a spotting scope. It's times like this I wish I had a telescope and camera adapter.

Peter, I haven't been able to see it since this night due to low level clouds. Maybe next week, the skies are supposed to clear off. The 28th will be a dark night without the moon, so hopefully then the clouds will be gone.

Skies were clear last night but I could not locate/see the comet, nor was it showing up on my skywatch app.
