Original Message If you were disappointed with Comet ISON’s break-up last month like many, then there is another chance to see a comet! A really nice comet called Comet Lovejoy 2013 R1, discovered by Terry Lovejoy of Australia, the Comet has been (visible to the) naked eye for many weeks now here in the Northern Hemisphere!!! Look due east between 5:30am and 6:15am , just before dawn. It is low on the horizon about 10 to 15 degrees above during this time, but it is visible to the unaided eye from a dark location. The Comet was 2.5 degrees south east of 3rd magnitude Star 65 Delta Herculis. (Comet Lovejoy is) easily visible in binoculars, looks awesome through any telescope, even telephotos lens capture it well.
