So You Want To See Comet Panstarrs And You Don't Know How To?

Position 20th Feb 2013, 1900hrs EST (0900 hrs UT)

Inspired by Suzy's original post for another bright comet, here is a thread for those who are new to astronomy and would like to catch Comet Panstarrs (C/2011 L4). You will need a low horizon without viewing obstructions for this one.

The further South you are the higher this comet will appear in the sky when viewed at the set time.
