[Lightningmike]

Yes but not mid afternoon. Lol.

I've looked several nights with binos and haven't seen it

 

[Lightningmike]

ok i seen it just now, you will need binoculars , had to readjust the compass on phone, the comet appears +/- 3 inches long, but is in the south part of the sky +/- 30 degrees up from horizontal, maybe 15-20 deg SW of south.
likely not be able to see it without binoculars. it is just east of MARS.
app is sky guide.

I know not right orientation but the stars align and I understand it's sposed to be NE of polaris.



On a side note I thought the only thing North of polaris was a doo and the peak of the mountain.
