The comet, named Macholz, is visible with the naked eye as a faint blur near the constelation Taurus. A pair of binoculars will help show some faint detail. The comet will continue to increase in brightness for the next few weeks, but probably won’t reach the “spectacular” level.

    I’ve been wanting to see this for over a week. But it’s been either cloudy or very hazy for the past week. Maybe tonight, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
