See Comet Lovejoy

Comet 41P/ T-G-C, hasn't preformed as well as was predicted.  But that's no matter!  we now have in the morning sky, Comet 2017/C E4 Lovejoy, which is currently visible in binoculars.  By mid-April, it should reach unaided eye visibility.  Here are charts, generated with www.theskylive.com.
                                                                      
April 1st
                       
April 15th

April 31st


As always, interpolate what the correct location is based from the charts.  It will appear as a faint, blue-grey smudge.  If you have a telescope, be sure to check it out!
