Another Comet.

[Jeff RV]

New Comet Lovejoy (C2007 E2) green in colour is moving from southern to northern hemisphere 9th magnitude expected to brighten to mag 7 in late April according to (SpaceWeather.com).

Will it be visible?

Jeff.

Not to the naked eye at mag 7 (unless you have VERY dark skies) but most 'scopes should show it happily. Depends on your aperture, anything over 66mm should see it with bigger being better.

[Jeff RV]

Do you think it will be be much above the horizon!

[GordonCopestake]

No idea! Perhaps someone can take a look on Stary Night or something?

[Jeff RV]

Hope so, never seen one yet! always been cloudy or something.

[The Warthog]

If it's moving from south to north it should become nicely visible, unless it stops and does a 180 on us.

Oh I do hope this one has an unexpected flare up. McNaught could have been the best in a gazzillion years... but noooooo it had to go and HUG the sun at the same time as reaching visual mag -2
