Comet Macholz Still Visible to Naked Eye!

This bright comet is still visible after dark every evening. It sits almost straight over head around 9-10pm.

Any small telescope or even binoculars will give you a fine view, so get out there and have a look at this beautiful green snowball.

Comet Macholz can be found half way between M45 Pleiades Cluster & Bright Star Beta Persei or Algol!

Clouded out tonight? Then try another night as it is heading towards the bright star Algol over the next few days.
