I don't know where to look and we have a clear night here. I have asked for Conor's help for tomorrow night as I am aquiring a telescope. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

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." edited cos Bobbie already posted the link, duh -------------
