The last few days Comet Pan-STARRS has been in the same binocular field =
of view as the Andromeda Galaxy. Thurs evening I had a fine view of the =
two and made a sketch based approximately on my 10 x 50 binocular view.

Although the comet is dimming, it is still possible to pick it up in a =
well focused pair of binoculars, scanning a clear view of the lower NW =
to NNW horizon (also free of nearby bright lights).  Best time is =
probably between 9 and 9:45 p.m. I have linked the sketch that is =
attached to my webpage,  ALSO,  an UPDATED FINDER DIAGRAM for the comet =
and the Andromeda Galaxy.  My CLEAR SKY CLOCK =
<http://www.cleardarksky.com/c/AcdUNSkey.html?1> is indicating a clear =
sky tomorrow evening (Saturday). =20
