Gizmodo: How to Spot the Ephemeral Cometary Visitor Nishimura https://gizmodo.com/comet-nishimura-astronomy-how-spot-1850825866 #hideonishimura #greatcomets #bobking #c1865b1 #comet

#CometNishimura is becoming brighter and brighter with every day and it reached "naked eye visibility".

But where is the #comet? When do I have to look at which direction?

Fear no more. I created 2 YouTube shorts to show you how to plan the observation using @StellariumDev

I can't tell you how excited I am to own this, recently bought from a friend. It's a #VieuxCognac bottle featuring a #comet badge. The #GreatCometOf1811 AKA #Comet C/1811 F1 was visible for ~260 days. 1811 was a great year for wine production & "Comet Wine" was sold for many years afterwards.

As always it is unfortunate and plainly misleading how photographic images of comet C/2023 (Nishimura) imply an easy to see naked eye comet with a long tail. It is not.
I can understand that not every photographer adds this explanation to their images but I have now seen so many click-bait websites praising this comet as something for the layman. Not nice. #comet #nishimura

#Comet #Nishimura this morning (10.09.2023) at 05:23 CEST. Seen from a mountain east of Heidelberg, Germany

Photo taken with 35mm lens showing the position of the comet and #Venus at the right border.

As today the light of the comet was already fighting with the morning dawn, I assume this was the last day to see it in the morning sky.

And last, but not least, another gorgeous photo of space! 🚀

Comet C/2023 P1 (Nishimura) rising over Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, Thursday September 7, 5:10 am, as seen from Glacier Point.

This is a composite of 15 2-second exposures, with a Nikon Z 85mm f/1.8 lens.

Quick reality check on social media hype:

That #hurricane (Lee) that's supposedly bearing down on the US East Coast? Maybe, but probably not. It's more likely it'll curve out to sea.

Quick reality check on NY Times hype:

That amazing #comet you can supposedly see in the predawn sky this weekend? Fat chance. Unless you have binoculars or a telescope and know how to find things in the heavens, this'll be a really tough one. And if you do see it, it'll be an underwhelming tiny fuzzball at best.

A comet no one had seen until last month may be visible to the naked eye this weekend, giving stargazers a once-in-a-437-year opportunity. More from Science Alert: https://flip.it/K8EJxE

A new #comet is visible in the predawn skies as it passes close to #Earth on its journey around the Sun. Comet #Nishimura is green in color with a long, white tail. It will make its closest pass by Earth on Sept. 12, 2023, and then will carry on toward the Sun

Also ihr Lieben... Spot the #comet! Wer findet #Nishimura?

For those around Latitude 50° 54’ 38 N and Longitude 4° 26’ 30" E and who like to get up early in the morning around 6 CEST, comet
C/2023 P1 (Nishimura) is getting bright. I hope to catch it one of these days before the sun catches up.
