Comet Leonos tonight - DON'T MISS IT!

[cygnusx1]

Surprised no-one has mentioned this, just got word from a mate who says comet Leonos will be visible tonight near Bootes, just after sunset 7pm ish.

Apparently mag 3-4 so get out there!

Cheers for the heads up.

Alas - too low for me to be able see. I hope someone has been able to get a good look.

How long is it going to be hanging around for?

It gets down to a max of mag 5.5 by the end of month but then you have the Moon to contend with. Its going to be a bit of a challenge for those in the North.
