Cannot locate the chart I had, or the better one I did not copy.

This page has some information, presently it is close to Algenib, just left of it, Square of Pegasus.

Scroll down to the bottom and it gives RA/Dec for it, but getting dimmer.

Panstarrs1

If I can locate the better one(s) I will post them.

Try this:

Panstarrs2

Constellations and path are shown just over half way down

check www.heavens above, it wont tell you were exactly but will tell you reletive to the sun, its what ive been using, mind i havent seen it yet but its mostly cause of clouds

This page may help http://waitingforiso...omet-panstarrs/. The charts are near the bottom of a long page, but the other information should give you a pretty good idea of what to look for.

I dont think my horizon is low enough

Is it still in the sky? I've been trying since 14th but it has been cloud, cloud, rain, cloud. . . .I thought I caught a glimpse but it was too short to be sure I wasn't watching a star through haze.

I am in Hampshire. No hose pipe ban here.

For those who have not been able to see this comet, go to my "2013 Telescopic Comets" post below. Click on the link for tips on how to observe it and what to expect to see.

By the 1st of April, it starts to get a bit of distance between it and the sun, but it's magnitude is dropping as it does....

Yesterday I spotted it at 12-15 deg above the horizon. Andromeda made a near vertical line above the horizon, Panstarrs was on the lower left-hand side.

Astro Tux,

I have had the same problem here with this comet, it seems to have it's own bank of clouds. Last week four nights on the bounce the sky was clear and the only place the cloud was, was over the comet. I have managed to see it 4 times though but the best sighting was the 13th when for me it was naked eye, difficult but visible.

Alan.

I haven't had much luck due to the cloud, do you think I will be able to see it with the telescope as it gets higher up after dark?
