I saw Comet Lovejoy last night and its the brightest Comet that I have seen this year. It was visible with 8x30 binoculars.
Located approximately 1/3 of the distance between Canopus and Sirius and brightning, this may be one to encourage the general public to try and find.
I will be writing to my local paper tomorrow to encourage people to try and find this 'Christmas Comet'.
