Seen NEOWISE Yet?

Probably not, because northern hemisphere viewing times have been ridiculously early in the morning.

However, NOW the comet is visible in the evening sky. I wish I could see it, but light polution here is pretty terrible.

If you can, though, it will do its flyby of Earth on July 22nd, and should be visible 10 to 20 degrees above the northern horizon (it's not in the normal elliptical plane).

Look just after sunset and just below the Big Dipper, and take binoculars or a telescope if you have one.
