Sherman,

Many thanks for the heads-up on this fascinating event.  Even though it is visible through the naked eye. through binoculars one can really see the FUZZINESS of  Comet Holmes compared to the nearby bright pin-points of the stars.  Good directions too; it only took me a few seconds to find it!

Regards,

Bob McDonald

  If you have not seen the FUZZY STAR yet you should give it a try. It is an unusual event.  I have updated my site on the Comet Holmes Outburst, showing how to find it in the bright moonlight.
