comet ison next week

comet ISON appears to have survived its encounter with the sun. hopefully it will be visible to the naked eye next week,near the horizon around sunrise/sunset... its to early to tell how bright it will be.
it may make a good photography subject

Where do I look?


I forget which comet it was that came around 12 or 15 years ago. I had gone out in my driveway to check it out, took one last look up before I went inside, slipped on some ice and smashed my face -- cracked my cheekbone and got a huge shiner. I won't make the mistake again. .

Sunset is probably best for me because the mountains are to the east and the water's to the west.
