What's Lovejoy doing?

So, what's the go with Lovejoy? When is the best time to see it on the eastern seaboard. What time of night?

Is it going to get higher in the sky when visible in the morning? Will it get any brighter or will it get dimmer now?

Baz.

Hi Baz, try from 3:00 a.m onwards, better too early than too late. I have heard it is supposed to be rising in the southern sky and moving towards the Southern Cross. Supposed to be dimming, but comets can be unpredictable, as many have shown in the past with out bursts that are unexpected.

All the best.

Most of the discussion and observation reports are happening in this thread in the events section.
