moin moin,
Finally got to see the comet last night. It was just under the branches of
a palm tree :).
The palm tree was being pointed at by the downward facing big dipper.
I located it with binoculars, but then was able to fuzzily see it without
them once I knew where to look.
We caught it around 20:45 and it was below the horizon by 21:20.
Probably heading out of town tonight for a better view.

Info from Lowell in Flagstaff.

In relation to the big dipper.

Any suggestions on a good place that is north horizon viewing with no
mountains without having to drive to Flagstaff.
I thought of Sunset point, but that's West viewing and south of the rim.
North of the rim is the start of the roller coaster. Lots of fun to drive,
but a horrible place to stop and sight see.
ciao,
der.hans
