I would love to see it but what do you know it's cloudy here again! Always seems to be cloudy when something interesting is happening in the night sky!!

The Stardome page says:
"Comet Lulin will be rising about 10:30pm in the north eastern sky.
Look first for Saturn, which is quite easy to find and resembles a bright orange star, Lulin will be slightly above Saturn. If all indications are correct binoculars and telescopes will give you a better view but, if you know where to look, you may be able to make out the glowing green comet dimly visible to the naked eye."
